Ernest Miller Hemingway:
(Oak Park, 21 July 1899 – Ketchum, 2 July 1961).
American writer and journalist who won the Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1953 with The Old Man and the Sea and received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Hemingway produced most of his works between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s. His sober, journalistic-derived writing style contrasted sharply with his image as an adventurer and his turbulent personal life, and was to exert great influence on modern American and European prose.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.
All stories, if continued far enough, end in death.
A big lie is more plausible than the truth.
Never to go on trips with anyone you do not love.
In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.
The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can’t be found.
But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how jusified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.
Now is the time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.
The distance you put between places doesn’t change the distance you have to travel inside. No passport, no plane ticket, no new city can fix what must be faced within. Growth isn’t on a map — it’s in the moments you finally meet yourself.
