"And who understands? Not me, because if..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“After you finish a book, you know, you're dead. But no one knows you're dead. All they see is the irresponsibility that comes in after the terrible responsibility of writing.”

“It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.”

“I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft. Faulkner did it very well in Pylon but you cannot do something someone else has done though you might have done it if they hadn't.”

“Truth is always present; it only needs to lift the iron lids of the mind's eye to read its oracles.”

“Your hand is cold, mine burns like fire. How blind you are, Nastenka!”

“We don't get to know anything but what we love.”

“My creed of nonviolence does not favour the punishment of thieves and dacoits and even murderers.”

“Love is forgiving and Love is for giving.”

“A definite forgiveness would mean a definite recognition of our strength.”
