More From Ernest Hemingway

In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. he cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance.
Philosophy Mean Men
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, you must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. in order to arrive at what you do not know you must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. in order to possess what you do not possess you must go by the way of dispossession. in order to arrive at what you are not you must go through the way in which you are not. and what you do not know is the only thing you know and what you own is what you do not own and where you are is where you are not.
Ignorance Order Way
If you want to be a writer, write. write and write and write. if you stop, start again. save everything that you write. if you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. write. writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less.
Writing Creative Juices Want
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.
Wall Writing Cells
You must learn her. you must know the reason why she is silent. you must trace her weakest spots. you must write to her. you must remind her that you are there. you must know how long it takes for her to give up. you must be there to hold her when she is about to. you must love her because many have tried and failed. and she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept. and, this is how you keep her.
Relationship Giving Up Writing
Take out another notebook, pick up another pen, and just write, just write, just write. in the middle of the world, make one positive step. in the center of chaos, make one definitive act. just write. say yes, stay alive, be awake. just write. just write. just write.

The instinct to produce great work doesn't require a fancy notebook.
Notebook Fancy Instinct
I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but i spend so much time on their lives, i don’t have much of a personal life of my own. i have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.
