QUOTES OF THE WEEK: Hemingway

“I had already seen the end of fall come through boyhood, youth and young manhood, and in one place you could write about it better than in another. That was called transplanting yourself, I thought, and it could be as necessary with people as with other sorts of growing things”. (A moveable Feast, p.5)

“He had never written about Paris. Not the Paris that he cared about.” (Hemingway, Snows of Kilidmanjaro)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:


“After all everybody, that is everybody who writes is interested in living inside themselves in order to tell what is inside themselves. That is why writers have to have two countries, the one where they belong and the one in which they live really. The second one is romantic, it is separate from themselves, it is not real but it is really there.” (Gertrud STEIN)
