I do not want you ever to initiate any action for any refunds of taxes without first consulting me and presenting the matter fully to me so that I may judge whether it is an honorable and ethical action to take, not simply legally, but according to my own personal standards.
Ernest HemingwayThere are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.

Ernest HemingwayIโm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life acrossโnot to just depict lifeโor criticize itโbut to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You canโt do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you canโt believe in it. Things arenโt that way.
Ernest HemingwayShe was looking into my eyes with that way she had of looking that made you wonder whether she really saw out of her own eyes.

She looked as though there were nothing on earth she would not look at like that, and really she was afraid of so many things.
