How good a book is should be judged by the man who writes it by the excellence of the material that he eliminates.

Ernest Hemingway

Why be puzzled by that? From things that have happened and from things as they exist and from all things that you know and all those you cannot know, you make something through your invention that is not a representation but a whole new thing truer than anything true and alive, and you make it alive, and if you make it well enough, you give it immortality. That is why you write and for no other reason that you know of. But what about all the reasons that no one knows?

Mindenkinek szüksége van arra, hogy nyíltan beszélhessen valakivel – mondta az asszony. – Azelőtt ott volt a vallás meg a többi értelmetlenség, most meg mindenkinek szüksége van valakire, akinek mindent őszintén bevallhat, mert különben akármilyen értékes ember, magányossá lesz.

Scott took LITERATURE so solemnly. He never understood that it was just writing as well as you can and finishing what you start.

When I saw my wife again standing by the tracks as the train came in by the piled logs at the station, I wished I had died before I had ever loved anyone but her.

Ernest Hemingway

Su decisión habia sido permanecer en aguas profundas y tenebrosas, lejos de todas las trampas y cebos y traiciones. Mi decisión fué ir allá a buscarlo, mas allá de toda gente. Mas allá de toda gente en el mundo. Ahora estamos solos uno para el otro y así ha sido desde mediodía. Y nadie que venga a valernos, ni a él ni a mí.
