“All cowardice comes from not loving, or not loving well, which is the same thing.”
I think that was Hemingway that said that,
And he,
Well he could cut through your soul like a hot knife cutting through a steaming pile of shit—
Bullshit—your bullshit,
To be precise—
With his brutal
Honesty.
But maybe it wasn't him that said that . . .?
Maybe it was one of those other writers?
I only read Ernest once when I was 18,
And I barely remember
His brutal honesty
Anymore.
But, when one of his quotes
Pops up
It always hurts,
Like a solid body shot does,
And I think that's what he was intending to do to me.
After all,
They say he was a fighter.
. . .
It turns out
That the quote
Is a line in a movie
Spoken by the character Hemingway
In a movie
Written by Woody Allen
About an author in Paris.
How cool.
