"You are so brave and quiet I..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Everybody has strange things that mean things to them. You couldn't help it.”

“No weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one.”

“Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.”

“Life is a succession of afflictions for the heart.”

“That human life must be some kind of mistake is sufficiently proved by the simple observation that man is a compound of needs which are hard to satisfy; that their satisfaction achieves nothing but a painless condition in which he is only given over to boredom . . .”

“With throbbing veins and burning skin, eyes wild and heavy, thoughts hurried and disordered, he felt as though the light were a reproach, and shrunk involuntarily from the day as if he were some foul and hideous thing.”

“Enter with me into the sufferings, not only of the people of India but of the whole world. Nonviolence is a more active and real fight against wickedness than retaliation whose very nature is to increase wickedness. It is not a weapon of the weak. It is a weapon of the strongest and bravest.”

“Except a person be part coward, it is not a compliment to say he is brave.”

“Nonviolence of the strong is infinitely braver than their violence.”
