“Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.”
Introduction to Treasury of the Free World (1946)
Source: Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Reference
Contexte: An aggressive war is the great crime against everything good in the world. A defensive war, which must necessarily turn to aggressive at the earliest moment, is the necessary great counter-crime. But never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
“you can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”

Ernest Hemingway livre Paris est une fête
Source: A Moveable Feast (1964), Ch. 8: 'Hunger Was Good Discipline'
Contexte: You got very hungry when you did not eat enough in Paris because all the bakery shops had such good things in windows and people ate outside at tables on the sidewalk so that you saw and smelled the food. When you were skipping meals at a time when you had given up journalism and were writing nothing that anyone in America would buy, explaining at home that you were lunching out with someone, the best place to do it was the Luxembourg gardens... There you could always go into the Luxembourg museum and all the paintings were heightened and clearer and more beautiful if you were belly-empty, hollow-hungry. I learned to understand Cézanne much better and to see truly how he made landscapes when I was hungry.
