“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

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

“I try not to borrow, first you borrow then you beg.”
― Ernest Hemingway

“If you have a success you have it for the wrong reasons. If you become popular it is always because of the worst aspects of your work.”
― Ernest Hemingway
