"Mr. Barnes, it is because I have..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“I read my own books sometimes to cheer me when it is hard to write, and then I remember that it was always difficult, and how nearly impossible it was sometimes.”

“As a writer, you should not judge, you should understand.”

“To be successful in writing, use short sentences.”

“To the wise, life is a problem; to the fool, a solution.”

“In the hopes of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.”

“It's sometimes quite astonishing that a single, average life is enough to encompass so much that it's at all possible ever to have any success in one's work here.”

“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”

“Here's what I think about music and journalism: The most important thing is to just press play.”

“Greatest thing in life is experience. Even mistakes have value.”
