"He had loved too much, demanded too..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Anglers have a way of romanticizing their battles with fish.”

“Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife underhand into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all the furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it.”

“There are so many good ones to paint and if you paint as well as you really can and keep out of all other things and do that, it is the true thing.”

“Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.”

“The only thing of importance, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.”

“In love and friendship the imagination is as much exercised as the heart; and if either is outraged the other will be estranged. It is commonly the imagination which is wounded first, rather than the heart,--it is so much the more sensitive.”

“Life was about spending time together , about having the time to walk together holding hands, talking quietly as the sun go down. It wasn't glamorous, but it was, in many ways, the best that life has to offer. Wasn't that how the old saying went? Who, on their deathbed, ever said they wished they had worked harder? Or spent less time enjoying a quiet afternoon? Or spent less time with their family?”

“You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.”

“Before you can do anything else in the lives of others, you must show them love.”
