Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature. Hemingway was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After high school, he reported for a few months for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to enlist with the World War I ambulance drivers. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. His wartime experiences formed the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms (1929
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
I’m not brave any more darling. I’m all broken. They’ve broken me.
But life isn’t hard to manage when you’ve nothing to lose.

I don’t. I don’t want anybody else to touch you. I’m silly. I get furious if they touch you.

My life used to be full of everything. Now if you aren’t with me I haven’t a thing in the world.
But people do. They love each other and they misunderstand on purpose and they fight and then suddenly they aren’t the same one.
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
All thinking men are atheists.
I have noticed that doctors who fail in the practice of medicine have a tendency to seek one another's company and aid in consultation. A doctor who cannot take out your appendix properly will recommend you to a doctor who will be unable to remove your tonsils with success.
I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice and the expression in vain. We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other…
Life isn't hard to manage when you've nothing to lose.
You're my religion. You're all I've got.
'Darling, would you like to grow a beard?' 'Would you like me to?' 'It might be fun. I'd like to see you with a beard.' 'All right. I'll grow one. I'll start now this minute. It's a good idea. It will give me something to do.'
The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places.
Oh, darling, you will be good to me, won’t you? Because we’re going to have a strange life.
Cowards die a thousand deaths, but the brave only die once.
When I saw her I was in love with her. Everything turned over inside of me. She looked toward the door, saw there was no one, then she sat on the side of the bed and leaned over and kissed me.
