More From Ernest Hemingway

Cowardice, as distinguished from panic, is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend the functioning of the imagination. learning to suspend your imagination and live completely in the very second of the present with no before and no after is the greatest gift a soldier can acquire.

Non-violence and cowardice are contradictory terms. non-violence is the greatest virtue, cowardice the greatest vice. non-violence springs from love, cowardice from hate. non-violence always suffers, cowardice would always inflict suffering. perfect non-violence is the highest bravery. non-violent conduct is never demoralising; cowardice always is.

(i)t is simply wrong to confuse cowardice with appeasement. cowardice is a failing of character. appeasement is a failure of policy. stalin appeased hitler when he signed the molotov-ribbentrop pact. stalin was an evil character, to be sure. but cowardice really isn't the first word that comes to mind when thinking of stalin ' that word is “sexy.” i'm kidding, i'm kidding.

The democrats are losing power in every election. and i think that's part of the panic. they want us to believe that the behavior and panic is rooted in an absolute outraged offense over this president that we have, this is just unacceptable and some maniac like trump is so out of the ordinary, out of the norm, has to be stopped. i don't think that's what it is. i mean, it's part of it. but i think there's a much larger panic that is taking over the democrat party. and it's gonna implode on 'em.

Panic: a highly underrated capacity thanks to which individuals are able to indicate clearly that something is wrong. given their head, most humans panic with great dignity and imagination. this can be called democratic expression or practical common sense.

We have made men proud of most vices, but not of cowardice. whenever we have almost succeeded in doing so, god permits a war or an earthquake or some other calamity, and at once courage becomes so obviously lovely and important even in human eyes that all our work is undone, and there is still at least one vice of which they feel genuine shame. the danger of inducing cowardice in our patients, therefore, is lest we produce real self-knowledge and self-loathing, with consequent repentance and humility.

So books are real to me, too; they link me not just with other minds but with the vision of other minds, what those minds understand and see. i see their worlds as well as i see my own.

Ninety per cent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties, and even their real virtues. most of us go almost all the way through life as complete strangers to ourselves - so how can we know anyone else?
