"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 "An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools." "That is what we are supposed to do when we are at our best – make it all up – but make it up so truly that later it will happen that way." "Switzerland is a small, steep country, much more up and down than sideways, and is all stuck over with large brown hotels built on the cuckoo clock style of architecture." More In Funny "I’m smart and I can be really funny and interesting and I can go toe-to-toe with anybody in a conversation."― Megan Fox "I don’t hate humanity and I’m not interested in people who do. Although, it’s funny, actually, some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. ‘London Fields’ is one of my favorite books ever. And it’s indefensible! But he’s so funny… I forgive him everything."― Elizabeth Gilbert "The comedians I liked were Bill Cosby and Steven Wright, like just always as a comedic actor. I always liked Gary Larson, who’s really funny for a cartoonist, obviously."― Demetri Martin
