These lines come from ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ and are some of the most commonly quoted. They appear in the section of the novella in which the character Santiagois on the water. He is musing on the state of humanity and wondering about what role he has to play in the larger natural world. Specifically, he is quite interested in the relationship h...
This longer passage is one of the best from Hemingway’s ‘A Farewell to Arms’. The lines feature in Chapter Thirty-Four. The scene depicts Henry and Catherine in bed together and the initial hope that Henry feels after their reunion. But, that soon changes. Henry’s mind moves away from their positive relationship and to a belief that the world is de...
These famous lines come from Chapter Thirteen of ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls‘. They describe the relationship between Maria and Robert Jordan as they are on their way back from El Sordo. Their intimate relationship is described through the structure of these lines and Hemingway’s use of repetition. As the lines progress, Ernest Hemingwaycontinues thes...
These two short sentences come from Hemingway’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, ‘The Old Man and the Sea‘. In this quote, the main character Santiago is speaking. Throughout the novel, he expresses his belief in luck, hope, and the power of all living things. He realizes that he’ll be able to catch this enormous marlin he has hooked if he perseveres.
These lines come from one of Hemingway’s best books ‘A Farewell to Arms‘ and feature in Chapter Twenty-Seven. Here, Henry is meeting Gino who has a very different opinion about war than he does. Gino celebrates the idea of dying for one’s country and blues things like honor and glory. But, to Henry, these things do little to justify the actual outc...
This wonderful line comes from Hemingway’s memoir, ‘A Moveable Feast‘. In it, he states very simply the one thing that he wanted to do with his life—write clearly and movingly without ornamentation or overwrought prose. Hemingway’s writing styleis memorable and direct, so much so that there are often many layers of meaning in one line.
There is really no better example of Hemingway’s writing style than the short story ‘Hills Like White Elephants‘. This short quotation, as well as the one to follow, both come from the story. The girl asked the American to order absinthe, stating that she’d never tried it before, but when she drinks it she explains that it tastes like “licorice,” j...
These two lines come from Chapter Seven of ‘The Sun Also Rises’. Here, the two are speaking after Brett gets to Jack’s house in Paris. This is a perfect example of the way that Hemingway is able to write about something complex and multilayered with a few words. Jake desperately wants Brett to be with him but she replies that she would “tromper” hi...
These lines are spoken by the American in ‘Hills Like White Elephants‘. Here, he is alluding to the possible outcome if the girl decides to have an abortion. To him, it’s a simple choice, she has the operation and they can perhaps be “fine”. The word “fine” does not quite do justice to the situation though. It was not as simple of a procedure then ...
