"Nobody climbs on skis now and almost..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?”

“I was always a lonely person when I was with everyone.”

“You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.”

“It is a curious fact about British Islanders, who hate drill and have not been invaded for nearly a thousand years, that as danger comes nearer and grows they become progressively less nervous; when it is imminent the are fierce, when it is mortal they are fearless.”

“Affliction may one day smile again; and till then, sit thee down, sorrow!.”

“The world breaks everyone or nearly everyone, of their childish illusions, assumptions and wishes, often painfully and afterwards due to the personal growth in practical experience, insight and the resulting wisdom many are strong at the broken places just like mended broken bones often are, and some people even have the great insight to be grateful for the purifying fire.”

“As I write, I am struggling with the ghost of someone I loved and lost. I now understand more fully the difficulties you were going through, and I realize how painful it must have been for you to move on.”

“If only this toothache would go away, I could write another chapter on the problem of pain.”

“Trying to “fix” the people in your life that cause you pain is like massaging your shoes because your feet ache.”
