― Ernest Hemingway, To Have and Have Not

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“Never confuse movement with action.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of laughter more terrible than any sadness-a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the Sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen-hearted Northland Wild.”
― Jack London
