More From Ernest Hemingway

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

There are two cardinal human sins out of which all others derive, deviate, and dissipate: impatience and lassitude (or perhaps nonchalance). on account of impatience they are driven out of paradise; on account of lassitude or nonchalance they do not return. perhaps, however, only one main sense of sin is given: impatience. on account of impatience they are driven out, on account of impatience they do not turn back.

The dream of romantic love is taken more seriously in north america than it is anywhere else in the world, which is why we believe in fidelity and why we believe in infidelity as well. it is also, of course, what makes our divorce rate as high as it is. falling in love at first sight and instant gratification are part of the world in which we live, so there are people who believe adamantly in fidelity. they just don't believe in it for long.

As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
Wall Struggle Moving
It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.
