For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment.
He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed.
Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.

from Hemingway's Nobel Prize acceptance speech



The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in 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.

from  A Farewell to Arms, 1929


Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.  That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

Hemingway
