"Life is the best left hooker I..." - Quote by Ernest Hemingway

“We all take a beating every day, you know, one way or another.”

“There are worse places to be than on your own.”

“I drink to make other people more interesting.”

“We must learn to die, and to die in the fullest sense of the word. The fear of the end is the source of all lovelessness”

“We stand on the threshold of a twilight-whether morning or evening we do not know. One is followed by the night, the other heralds the dawn.”

“It is ordained that to the ambitious, who derive no satisfaction from the gifts of life and the beauty of the world, life shall be a cause of suffering, and they shall possess neither the profit nor the beauty of the world.”

“As men get on in life, they acquire a love for sincerity, and somewhat less solicitude to be lulled or amused. In the progress ofthe character, there is an increasing faith in the moral sentiment, and a decreasing faith in propositions.”

“Your lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltiness of time.”

“Some men look at Constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them, like the ark of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present, but without the experience of the present; and forty years of experience in Government is worth a century of book-reading; and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead.”
