Midnight in Paris quotes

  • Gil: I'm a huge Mark Twain fan. I think you can make the case that all modern American literature comes from Huckleberry Finn.

    Ernest Hemingway: Do you box?

    Gil: No. Well... Not really, no.

  • Gil: Would you read it?

    Ernest Hemingway: Your novel?

    Gil: Yeah, it's about 400 pages long, and I'm just looking for an opinion.

    Ernest Hemingway: My opinion is I hate it.

    Gil: Well you haven't even read it yet.

    Ernest Hemingway: If it's bad, I'll hate it because I hate bad writing, and if it's good, I'll be envious and hate all the more. You don't want the opinion of another writer.
