Ernest Hemingway: My opinion is I hate it.
Gil: Well I mean, you haven’t even read it.
Ernest Hemingway: If it’s bad I’ll hate it because I hate bad writing. If it’s good I’ll be envious and hate it all the more! You don’t want the opinion of another writer.
Gil: Yeah... well.. you know... I’m having a hard time trusting someone to evaluate it.
Ernest Hemingway: Writers are competitors.
Gil: I’m... err... not going to be competitive with you...
Ernest Hemingway: You’re too self effacing. It’s not manly!
If you’re a writer declare yourself the best writer!
But you’re not while I’m around! Unless you want to put the gloves on and settle it!
