a

group

of

literary

notables

and

other

parts

of

Europe,

Principle

the

"iceberg

principle"

used

inHemingway"s

works?

theory

of

omission

is

widelyreferred

to

as

the

"iceberg

principle."

By

omitticertain

parts

of

a

story,

he

actually

strengthensthat

story.

writing

enough

in

orderfor

reader

to

Hemingway

disliked

discussions

regarding

thesymbolism

in

his

works.

The

"iceberg

principle,"

howeveby

its

nature,

subtle

way.

No

good

writer

ever

prepared

his

symbols

ahead

timeand

wrote

his

book

about

them,

but

out

of

a

good

bookwhich

is

true

to

life

symbols

may

arise

and

be

profitablyexplored

if

not

over-emphasized.Writing

what

you

to

shut.

Happiness

in

intelligent

people

is

the

rarest

thiI

know.

I

still

need

more

healthy

My

health

is

the

main

capital

I

have

andI

want

to

administer

it

intelligently.Never

confuse

movement

with

action.

When

people

talk,

listen

completely.

Mostpeople

never

listen.

Certainly

there

is

no

hunting

like

the

hunting

ofman

and

those

who

have

hunted

armed

menlong

enough

and

liked

it,

never

really

care

foranything

else

thereafter.

If

you

none

ofthese

you

can

be

it

will

kill

there

will

be

no

Ernest

Hemingway,

A

Farewell

to

Arms,1929

For

a

true

writer

each

book

should

be

anew

beginning

where

he

tries

again

forsomething

that

is

beyond

attainment.

Heshould

always

try

for

something

that

hasnever

been

done

or

that

others

have

triedand

failed.

Then

sometimes,

with

greatluck,

he

will

succeed.

than

I

amand

I

so.
