“He [Hemingway] used a stand-up work place he had fashioned out of the top of of a bookcase near his bed. His portable typewriter was snugged in there and papers were spread along the top of the bookcase on either side of it. He used a reading board for longhand writing.” WritingUsedReadingSidesBedPaperSpreadBoardsPapersTypewritersWork PlaceBookcases Book:Papa Hemingway: A Personal Memoir Source: Papa Hemingway: A Personal Memoir
“Perhaps we have failed as human beings. Perhaps we have embarrassed ourselves to the natural world. We have been rigorous and willful in all the wrong ways. But it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe you don't want to deal with (marching), the permanent marker and poster board. But try something else. Carry someone's groceries. Chat with the custodian in your office building. Donate blood. Live in Rwanda for a year. Write letters to the Department of Buildings. Learn to knit. It is only going to get better from here on out.” WorldWayWantWritingTryingYearsHumansHas BeensNaturalHuman BeingsDealsBloodBuildingOfficeLettersPermanentGet BetterBoardsDepartmentEmbarrassedNatural WorldGroceriesPostersWrong WayDonateMarkersRwandaCustodiansOffice BuildingsDonating Blood Author:Sufjan Stevens
