"A man’s got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book." ― Ernest Hemingway Topic(s): Funny More From Ernest Hemingway "His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred." "Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another." "The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other."
