    Default Why I love Ernest Hemmingway

    Traveled the world
    Avid Outdoorsman
    Drank his liver into obilivion
    Intellectual
    Blew his brains out at 61 becuase the 2nd half of the century was boring as hell
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I was thinking of reading another of his sometime, can someone recommend one other than The old man and the sea, The sun also rises, and For whom the bell tolls?

    I read some Hemmingway and I just couldn't get into it. I tried but... I just didn't enjoy it.

    I am so embarassed.

    Ernest Hemmingway

    There are extenuating circumstances to his death you know.

    Like he was in Ketchum, Idaho.

    That and having a few belts might push anyone over the edge.


    Education: that which reveals to the wise,
    and conceals from the stupid,
    the vast limits of their knowledge.
