If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young
man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays
with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.
--Hemingway, 1950
I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever
you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought.
You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong
to this notebook and this pencil.
--"A Moveable Feast"
I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and
think, "Do not worry. You have always written before
and you will write now. All you have to do is write one
true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.
So finally I would write one true sentence, and then go
on from there. It was easy then because there was always
one true sentence that I knew or had seen or had heard
someone say.
--"A Moveable Feast"
But Paris was a very old city and we were young and
nothing was simple there, not even poverty, nor sudden
money, nor the moonlight, nor right and wrong, nor
the breathing of someone who lay beside you in the
moonlight.
