This book is a collection of 165 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Ernest Hemingway. It grants his reflections on subjects ranging from Old Man to the Sea:
“A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
“Fish," he said softly, aloud, «I'll stay with you until I am dead.”
“Fish," he said, «I love you and respect you very much. But I will kill you dead before this day ends.”
“Never sit a table when you can stand at the bar.”
“Work every day. No matter what has happened the day or night before, get up and bite on the nail.”
“There isn't always an explanation for everything.”
“The world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.”
“I had learned already never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it.”
“Show the readers everything, tell them nothing.”
