Learning by Ernest Hemingway: Death in the Afternoon

Learning

 

There are some things, which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them, the little new that each man gets from life are very costly and the only heritage he has to leave.
