I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred. -Ernest Hemingway Hope

I always rewrite each day up to the point where I stopped. When it is all finished, naturally you go over it.

Cowardice... is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination. -Ernest Hemingway Imagination
I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes. -Ernest Hemingway War
When I am working on a book or a story, I write every morning as soon after first light as possible. There is no one to disturb you, and it is cool or cold, and you come to your work and warm as you write. -Ernest Hemingway Morning
