Ernest Hemingway Quotes About Killing

Quotes about: Killing

• You are killing me, fish, the old man thought. But you have a right to. Never have I seen a greater, or more beautiful, or a calmer or more noble thing than you, brother.

  Ernest Hemingway

  Beautiful, Brother, Men

  Ernest Hemingway (1995). “The old man and the sea”, p.33, Hueber Verlag

• I have watched them all day and they are the same men that we are. I believe that I could walk up to the mill and knock on the door and I would be welcome except that they have orders to challenge all travelers and ask to see their papers. It is only orders that come between us. Those men are not fascists. I call them so, but they are not. They are poor men as we are. They should never be fighting against us and I do not like to think of the killing.

  Ernest Hemingway

  Believe, Fighting, Men

• I spend a hell of a lot of time killing animals and fish so I wouldn't kill myself. When a man is in rebellion against death, as I am in rebellion against death, he gets pleasure out of taking to himself one of the godlike attributes; that of giving it.

  Ernest Hemingway

  Animal, Men, Giving
