Ernest Hemingway

1899–1961

Novelist of the broken places

The world breaks every one is from A Farewell to Arms, and the next clause — many are strong at the broken places — is not a guarantee. He killed himself. The canon does not use that fact as a twist. It uses his sentences, which he finished.
