A Farewell to Arms is a novel by Ernest Hemingway. The book was published in 1929, and the popularity of this work contributed to Hemingway's status as an American legend in literature (he was a larger-than-life figure: journalist, novelist, hunter and all-around adventurer).
In A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway drew upon his own wartime experiences to tell the story of Frederic Henry, a volunteer in the Italian army. Here are quotes from this tragic love story.
- "I went out the door and suddenly I felt lonely and empty. I had treated seeing Catherine very lightly. I had gotten somewhat drunk and had nearly forgotten to come but when I could not see her there I was feeling lonely and hollow."
- "You do. What you tell me about in the nights. That is not love. That is only passion and lust. When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve."
