There are few people who write, who pour their heart out,whose voices transcend through spaces,who take you on a fantasy ride you never wanna quit.These are the people who transform you inside out,make you wanna jump out of the window to feel gravity,to drown in the sea and never come back,to get lost in the stars even in the day. These are the writers who in my opinion have changed the way I feel books,the way I feel myself,the way i write.
1. Ernest Hemingway
“All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”
He was a macho man of the literary generation of his time.His distinctive writings in narrative form were blatant,pierced straight to heart and soul of the readers. Began his literary career as a journalist for firstly the school magazine and then for Kansas City Star.With a life full of adventure,people,mistresses and places,this person was did everything he could possibly do.His writings like “The Old Man and the Sea“, “Sun also rises” and “Farewell to Arms” are commendable work of writings.These all reflect the magnificent life he had. A Decorated Military Veteran he served as an ambulance driver in the World War I for Italian Army.He was one of the “True writers” whose work even attract everybody equally even now.He told stories like no one ever did,there seemed to be a true context of his every story that one could relate. He has been my soul i inspiration for writing,for never giving up for the dreams you have.He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize in Litreature for his book ” The Old man and the Sea“.
His writings have a distinctive taste,the more i read of this person,the more i want to meet him. But Alas! some wishes are never meant to be true. Like a star that is far away from you,whom you can just see and cannot pay a visit.
His relations with women,drinks,adventures are all quite popular. His flash fictions are worth to be visited once.
His famous flash fiction “Baby shoes,for sale,never worn” haunted people by just 6 words. Such was his command over the thoughts. Some of the thoughts are given below.
Some Thoughts from him to rattle yourself :-
“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?”
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”-
“All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.”
