"It is impossible to believe the emotional..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintry light.”

“Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .”

“As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.”

“What can be explained is not poetry.”

“No poet or orator has ever existed who believed there was any better than himself.”

“The beautiful is as useful as the useful." He added after a moment’s silence, "Perhaps more so.”

“Every object, every being...is a jar full of delight.”

“The moon of Rome, chaste as the icicle that's curded by the frost from purest snow.”

“There was so much in you that charmed me that I felt I must tell you something about yourself. I thought how tragic it would be if you were wasted.”
