"Why do old men wake so early?..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“The writer's job is not to judge, but to seek to understand.”

“In company with people of your own trade you ordinarily speak of other writers' books. The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves. Joyce was a very great writer and he would only explain what he was doing to jerks. Other writers that he respected were supposed to be able to know what he was doing by reading it.”

“You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

“As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.”

“I am not old, but my young way was never the way to age.”

“Farewell - farewell, For I am weary of the weight of time.”

“He began to search among the infinite series of impressions which time had laid down, leaf upon leaf, fold upon fold softly, incessantly upon his brain; among scents, sounds; voices, harsh, hollow, sweet; and lights passing, and brooms tapping; and the wash and hush of the sea.”

“It is not the weight of the future or the past that is pressing upon you, but ever that of the present alone. Even this burden, too, can be lessened if you confine it strictly to its own limits.”
