From Ernest Hemingway's Stories I Learned To

Keenness Of Hearing Revives When One Is Alone.

It's Impossible To Conquer All Fear And Loss By Preparation. There Are Always Sources Of Desolation That Aren't Taken Into Account Because No One Knows What They Will Be.

Perhaps There Is No Other Way Of Reaching Some Understanding Of Being Than Through Art? Writers Themselves Don't Analyze What They Do; To Analyze Would Be To Look Down While Crossing A Canyon On A Tightrope. To Say This Is Not To Mystify The Process Of Writing But To Make An Image Out Of The Intense Inner Concentration The Writer Must Have To Cross The Chasms Of The Aleatory And Make Them The Word's Own, As An Explorer Plants A Flag.
