A Quote by Ernest Hemingway

The smallest coffins are the heaviest. — © Ernest Hemingway
The smallest coffins are the heaviest.
I'm at the heaviest I've ever been in my life now and it took me being the heaviest to finally love myself.
Comfort zones are plush lined coffins. When you stay in your plush lined coffins, you die.
This is not a phone business. This is the smallest video camera, it's the smallest computer, smallest TV.
One of the lessons learned during the Vietnam War was that the depiction of wounded soldiers, of coffins stacked higher than their living guards, had a negative effect on the viewing public. The military in Iraq specifically banned the photographing of wounded soldiers and coffins, thus sanitizing this terrible and bloody conflict.
My coming to England in this way is, as I realize, so unusual that nobody will easily understand it. I was confronted by a very hard decision. I do not think I could have arrived at my final choice unless I had continually kept before my eyes the vision of an endless line of children's coffins with weeping mothers behind them, both English and German, and another line of coffins of mothers with mourning children.
My daughter is reading various Young Adult vampire stuff, and I ask her, "Is there even a bad vampire in the story?" There's always a good vampire now, but do any of them sleep in coffins? And I would bring her down to my library and say, "Here's every classic vampire literature. There are coffins, there's this, there's that," you know? "When you get to the YA stuff, you may try some of this stuff just to see where it came from."
I'm the smallest man in show business, and I've got the smallest bird in Britain nesting in my garden.
I know that God our Father is in this work in great congregations . . . and in the smallest branch and the smallest congregation.
I've always been one of the smallest, if not the smallest guy on the football field.
Never fear to bring the sublimest motive to the smallest duty, and the most infinite comfort to the smallest trouble.
I have more artistic control in a smaller show. But it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still make a big impact.
We are told that the first part of the process is to select the very smallest seeds from the smallest plants, which is not at all unlikely, but I cannot speak to the fact from my own observation.
Nature has but one plan of operation, invariably the same in the smallest things as well as in the largest, and so often do we see the smallest masses selected for use in Nature, that even enormous ones are built up solely by fitting these together. Indeed, all Nature's efforts are devoted to uniting the smallest parts of our bodies in such a way that all things whatsoever, however diverse they may be, which coalesce in the structure of living things construct the parts by means of a sort of compendium.
Folks always look good in their coffins.
Two Coffins' is a song I wrote for my daughter.
One cannot live for ever by ignoring the price of coffins.
