The first draft of anything is always shit.
-- Ernest Hemingway
But man is not made for defeat... A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
-- Ernest Hemingway
If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water.
-- Ernest Hemingway
