If anyone knows or can think of a quote supposedly by Hemingway about the light in a room, could you post it in the comments or email it to me? It would mean a lot.
It might be a quote about the light in a room not by Hemingway as the person who told me it was by Hemingway has not always been a reliable source........
None the less, anything you can think of would be great!
Another Hemingway quote that I found in the search for the one about light:
Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.
I happen to appreciate this quote...sorry to any painfully misled Faulkner fans out there...

A Little Girl
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
And now I never will
Though for so long our lives entwined
I searched for him with nothing to find
His chest now lies still
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
I plead the bottle remain declined
Knowing it would kill
Though for so long our lives entwined
For years I looked to him and pined
For his heart to fill
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
Now his life is left behind
We bury him on the hill
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
Though for so long our lives entwined
And now I never will
Though for so long our lives entwined
I searched for him with nothing to find
His chest now lies still
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
I plead the bottle remain declined
Knowing it would kill
Though for so long our lives entwined
For years I looked to him and pined
For his heart to fill
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
Now his life is left behind
We bury him on the hill
I know nothing of my daddy’s mind
Though for so long our lives entwined
