Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American author and journalist. Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.
In 1952 Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life. Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and '40s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.
Hemingway quotes:
— "The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them."
— "A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
— "An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools."
— "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love."
— "The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without."
