For luck you carried a horse chestnut and a rabbit?s foot in your right pocket. the fur had been worn off the rabbit?s foot long ago and the bones and the sinews were polished by the wear. the claws scratched in the lining of your pocket and you knew your luck was still there.

More From Ernest Hemingway

The person i love would never wear fur. fur just makes me think of shallow women who have no conscience. the fur industry belongs to a time when people were selfish beyond belief. if you were some ancient tribal cheiftain, and there was not a department store nearby 350 years ago, i'd understand. but now, we have synthetic fibers,and it's not necessary. the elitism of fur makes me wanna puke.

But if an actress asks me my opinion, i would tell her there are a million different designers who make faux fur. if you like that look, wear faux fur. if you're doing it on the red carpet, you're doing it for how it looks. faux fur and real fur look the same on camera.

There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

You can be merry with the king, you can share a joke with him. but as thomas more used to say, it's like sporting with a tamed lion. you tousle its mane and pull its ears, but all the time you're thinking, those claws, those claws, those claws.
Kings Thinking Ears
How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the mediterranean! you were a lord if you had a horse. far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...the horse, the horse! the symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!

I looked across the river to manhattan. it was a great view. when sadie and i had first arrived at brooklyn house, amos had told us that magicians tried to stay out of manhattan. he said manhattan had other problems--whatever that meant. and sometimes when i looked across the water, i could swear i was seeing things. sadie laughed about it, but once i thought i saw a flying horse. probably just the mansion's magic barriers causing optical illusions, but still, it was weird.

I can hate you more, but i'll never love you less.
Horse Hate Love You
It is when one begins to lose the consciousness of freedom, and when the idea of necessity enters the world at all, when there is any hurry or strain anywhere, a letter to be written or a train to catch, when you have got to work, to make the horses of the dream gallop, or to make the rifles go off, that the dream is declining, and turning into the nightmare, which belongs to the poorest and most vulgar class of dreams.
