“The first and final thing you have to do in this world is to last it and not be smashed by it.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.”
― William Shakespeare, Macbeth

“A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“The first draft of anything is shit.”
― Ernest Hemingway
