For Whom the Bell Tolls
Ernest Hemingway
Top 10 Best Quotes
“There's no one thing that's true. It's all true.”
“There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow. How old must you be before you know that? There is only now, and if now is only two days, then two days is your life and everything in it will be in proportion. This is how you live a life in two days. And if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.”
“I loved you when I saw you today and I loved you always but I never saw you before.”
“The world is a fine place and worth fighting for and I hate very much to leave it.”
“How little we know of what there is to know. I wish that I were going to live a long time instead of going to die today because I have learned much about life in these four days; more, I think than in all other time. I'd like to be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know nothing of. I wish there was more time.”
“I had an inheritance from my father, It was the moon and the sun. And though I roam all over the world, The spending of it’s never done.”
“This was a big storm and he might as well enjoy it. It was ruining everything, but you might as well enjoy it”
“For what are we born if not to aid one another?”
“No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the mess it makes. The cat is the best anarchist.”
“Dying was nothing and he had no picture of it nor fear of it in his mind. But living was a field of grain blowing in the wind on the side of a hill. Living was a hawk in the sky. Living was an earthen jar of water in the dust of the threshing with the grain flailed out and the chaff blowing. Living was a horse between your legs and a carbine under one leg and a hill and a valley and a stream with trees along it and the far side of the valley and the hills beyond.”
