"Live the full life of the mind,..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“You’re my religion. You’re all I’ve got.”

“I used to play cello. My mother kept me out of school a whole year to study music and counterpoint. She thought I had ability, but I was absolutely without talent.”

“It is a miserable thing to have people writing about your private life while you are alive. I have tried to stop it all that I could but there have been many abuses by people I trusted. You cannot stop trusting people in life but I have learned to be a little bit careful. The way to make people trust-worthy is to trust them.”

“He who robs us of our dreams robs us of our life.”

“You are who you are at this moment because of everything that's ever happened to you, everything that you carried forward for yourself.”

“In the end, the only events of my life worth telling are those when the imperishable world erupted into this transitory one All other memories of travels, people and my surroundings have paled beside these interior happenings But my encounters with the 'other' reality, my bouts with the unconscious, are indelibly engraved on my memory. In that realm there has always been wealth in abundance, and everything else has lost importance by comparison.”

“Whilst part of what we perceive comes through our senses from the object before us, another part (and it may be the larger part) always comes out of our own mind.”

“Truth is always present; it only needs to lift the iron lids of the mind's eye to read its oracles.”

“Maybe I think too much for my own good.”
