"As a writer, you should not judge,..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“I love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don't like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around.”

“Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. He should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. There are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing I can think of at this time).”

“I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her.”

“Get your passion on the paper. Detach from the outcome. Forget about whether it's going to get published.”

“I was reading this James Bond book, and right away I realized that, like most books, it had too many words.”

“Before I wrote The Power of Now, I had a vision that I had already written the book and that it was affecting the world. I had a sense there was already a book somehow in existence. I drew a circle on a piece of paper and it said "book." Then I wrote something about the effect the book had on the world, how it influenced my life and other people's lives, and how it came to be translated into many languages affecting hundreds of thousands of people.”

“A poem, a sentence, causes us to see ourselves. I be, and I see my being, at the same time.”

“My proof convinces the ignorant, and the wise man's proof convinces me. But he whose reasoning falls between wisdom and ignorance, I neither can convince him, nor can he convince me.”

“It was my first meeting with a philosophy that confirmed my vague speculations and seemed at once logical and boundless.”
