“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” E. Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms.
In my opinion, This is great writing.
Every word put into place for a purpose. Every dot. Recently I was asked who has given me the best advice on how to write. I didn’t answer.. because a dead man did, and I never knew him.

Dead men and often from a different culture.

I just enjoyed a book filled with all things Hemingway that I’ll be reviewing, it comes out October 23, titled “Ernest Hemingway: Artifacts From a Life” by Michael Katakis. You might want to check it out. The son and grandson were interviewed and let him go through all of Hemingway’s belongings to do the book from. Amazing, some of the stuff he’d kept, like bullfight tickets, etc.
