More From Ernest Hemingway

First, consider the pen you write with. it should be a fast-writing pen because your thoughts are always much faster than your hand. you don't want to slow up your hand even more with a slow pen. a ballpoint, a pencil, a felt tip, for sure, are slow. go to a stationery store and see what feels good to you. try out different kinds. don't get too fancy and expensive. i mostly use a cheap sheaffer fountain pen, about $1.95.... you want to be able to feel the connection and texture of the pen on paper.

Someone's killed 100,000 people. we're almost going, "well done! you killed 100,000 people? you must get up very early in the morning! i can't even get down the gym. your diary must look odd: 'get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death - lunch - death, death, death - afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower ...' "

"these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. but do not marry them. the things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. when it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. these men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

I have a real aversion to machines. i write with a pen. then i read it to someone who writes it onto the computer. what are those computer letters made of anyway? light? too insubstantial. paper, you can feel it. a pen. there's a connection. a pen goes exactly at your speed, whereas that machine jumps. and then, that machine is waiting for you, just humming "uh-huh, yes?
Real Writing Light
I've got a pen, and i've got a phone, and i can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive action. i've got a pen to talk executive actions where congress won't. where congress isn't acting, i'll act on my own. i have got a pen and i got a phone. and that is all i need.
