"Every day above earth is a good..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.”

“Nobody climbs on skis now and almost everybody breaks their legs but maybe it is easier in the end to break your legs than to break your heart although they say that everything breaks now and that sometimes, afterwards, many are stronger at the broken places.”

“We have come out of the time when obedience, the acceptance of discipline, intelligent courage and resolution were most important, into that more difficult time when it is a man's duty to understand his world rather than simply fight for it.”

“Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere, and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles... Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.”

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”

“You've got to be (an) optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one”

“And nevertheless, when they watched him leave the house, this man they themselves had urged to conquer the world, then they were the ones left with the terror that he would never return. That was their life. Love, if it existed, was something separate: another life.”

“There is but one stage for the peasant and the actor.”

“The surest test if a person be sane, is if she accepts life whole, as it is.”
