"The people that I liked and had..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“A writer should write what he has to say and not speak it.”

“There is a mystery in all great writing and that mystery does not dissect out. It continues and is always valid.”

“All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.”

“When you are alone you are all your own.”

“I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.”

“To be in company, even with the best, is soon wearisome and dissipating.”

“When I play on my fiddle in DooneyFolk dance like a wave on the sea.”

“Once negro community recognize it as such, they can adopt the same measures against the community that harbors the criminals who are responsible for this activity.”

“People keep themselves at a tolerable height above an infernal abyss toward which they gravitate only by putting out all their strength and lovingly helping one another. They are tied together by ropes, and it's bad enough when the ropes around an individual loosen and he drops somewhat lower than the others into empty space; ghastly when the ropes break and he falls. That's why we should cling to the others.”
