blackswaneuroparedux Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you especially have to hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But when you get the damned hurt use it - don’t cheat with it. Be as faithful to it as a scientist - but don’t think anything is of any importance because it happens to you or anyone belonging to you.Ernest Hemingway, Letter to Scott Fitzgerald, dated 28 May 1934Hemingway and Fitzgerald in Paris, 1925 hemingway ernesrt hemingway quote letter tragedy inspiration f scott fitzgerald culture friendship writer authors art of writing
