“He was going to work on it until he got it. Maybe never, but he would know as he got near it. It was a job. Maybe for all his life.”
Ernest Hemingway
I’m going to keep working on flying. It is work. It is a job. I may never really get it right. But I do enjoy it so.
Hemingway said it better. But his job was writing. Quoted in Hemingway’s In Our Time: The Biography of a Book, by Michael Reynolds, 1995.
