Ernest “Papa” Hemingway, known as one of the great American 20th century novelists, can also be remembered as a man who chased adventure. When he wasn’t writing, he was hunting game in Africa, bullfighting in Spain, and deep-sea fishing in Florida. The author won a Pulitzer Prize for The Old Man and the Sea, which became one of his most famous books. A few years later, he claimed the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. As we celebrate what would’ve been Hemingway’s 117th birthday today, here are a collection of quotes from the author himself, on a few key things to remember while chasing the thrill in life.
