Looking for thought-provoking Ernest Hemingway quotes?

Ernest Hemingway, the Nobel-prize-winning author, had several critics during his lifetime. But none were as fierce and reputed as the writer and fellow Nobel Laureate William Faulker.

When asked to state his opinion on Hemingway in one of the events he was invited to speak about, Faulker rather disparagingly said, “Ernest Hemingway has no courage and has never crawled out on a limb. He has never been known to use a word that might cause the reader to check with a dictionary to see if it is properly used.”

In fact, Hemingway’s writing style even inspired the popular Hemingway App, an online editing tool that helps improve your sentence structure to make your writing crisp and clear.
