"You never understand anybody that loves you...." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“Everything is on such a clear financial basis in France. It is the simplest country to live in. No one makes things complicated by becoming your friend for any obscure reason. If you want people to like you you have only to spend a little money. I spent a little money and the waiter liked me. He appreciated my valuable qualities. He would be glad to see me, and would want me at his table. It would be a sincere liking because it would have a sound basis. I was back in France.”

“He knew he would not be afraid. Even if he ever was afraid he knew that he could do it anyway.”

“Worry destroys the ability to write.”

“All men know their children Mean more than life. If childless people sneer- Well, they've less sorrow. But what lonesome luck!”

“This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.”

“By Heaven, my soul is purg'd from grudging hate; And with my hand I seal my true heart's love”

“When people need love and understanding and support the most is when they deserve it the least.”

“Understanding is the soil in which grow all the fruits of friendship.”

“I obviously do everything to be "hard to understand" myself”
