Top 5 quotes from Ernest Hemingway
"There is no friend as loyal as a book."
"There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention."
"The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for."
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
"Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day."
Top 5 quotes from Work
"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
"Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you're a thousand miles from the corn field."
"Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair."
"Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work."
"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
