“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

“That's all we do, isn't it -- look at things and try new drinks?”

“War is not won by victory.”
― Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

“In what disorder we lived, how many fragments of ourselves were scattered, as if to live were to explode into splinters.”
