I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen. | |
— Ernest Hemingway | |
[But to listen carefully is difficult when you’re in love with the sound of your own voice – like some… Right, #AmnestyDon? — KMAB] | |

Learning, Experience, Chances or Money
Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Ernest Hemingway, On Living, Philosophy, Quotes, The Sun Also Rises on May 27, 2016| Leave a Comment »
I thought I had paid for everything. Not like the woman pays and pays and pays. No idea of retribution or punishment. Just exchange of values. You gave up something and got something else. Or you worked for something. You paid some way for everything that was any good. I paid my way into enough things that I like, so that I had a good time. Either you paid by learning about them, or by experience, or by taking chances, or by money. Enjoying living was learning to get your money’s worth and knowing when you had it. You could get your money’s worth. The world was a good place to buy in. It seemed like a fine philosophy. In five years, I thought, it will seem just as silly as all the other fine philosophies I’ve had. | |
— Ernst Hemingway | |
From his novel: “The Sun Also Rises“ | |
