this has been one of the greatest honors of my life. i have the enjoyment of walking around the property when everyone is gone, they can see the serenity of the property, inspiration that hemingway probably felt. he once had a line that said if you really want to write, start with one true sentence. for a true writer, each book should be a new beginning for something that is beyond. he should always try for something that has never been done, or that others have tried and failed. how simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. ernest hemingway was definitely a very unique and self-made man. his grandfather ran away from farm life, joins the civil war because, fought in the civil war and later worked for a cutlery company in chicago. hemingway s mother was an opera singer and performing artist. his father was a pediatrician. it came from a very well off family. they settled in oak park illinois. hemi
