The quote you've shared, "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know," reflects Hemingway's introspective and often contemplative approach to understanding human nature. This quote, like much of his writing, highlights his keen observation of the complexities of life and the human psyche.
Hemingway's works and his influence on literature continue to resonate with readers and writers alike, making him a pivotal figure whose legacy remains vibrant in the world of literary exploration.

I can understand why some people would find his writing to be pretentious but he was hugely important for the literary landscape of his time and set up many future authors and their styles too! I simply love A Moveable Feast and the other 1920s authors that were broke and trying to make a living with their art.Danny Caz wrote: ↑09 Mar 2007, 08:37 WOW! I understand that evrybody is entitled to their own opinions. But my Lord!!! Are we talking about the same Hemingway? The Author of "classics" such as The Sun also Rises, and Old Man and the Sea! not only is he one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, but he was a pioneer. His, cut to the chase straight foward style was and still is uncomprimisingly unique. He paved the road for such writers as Jack Kerouac and Charles Bukowski (my two favorite authors)...Not only do I enjoy reading Earnest Hemingway's works, but I declare that that man was a genius!!!
