Youre an expatriate. Youve lost touch with the soil. You get precious. Fake European standards have ruined you. You drink yourself to death. You become obsessed by sex. You spend all your time talking, not working. You are an expatriate, see? You hang around caf?s. – Ernest Hemingway
I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after. – Ernest Hemingway

H. (David Herbert) Lawrence
