Areg | 2 comments The quote about "living with all your might" is not by Hemingway but by William Saroyan. It is listed under both authors on Goodreads. Please delete the Hemingway version as it leads to misinformation, especially when Saroyan could use the extra publicity these days.

Empress (the_empress) We don't delete quotes but merge them, otherwise we are deleting content off people's profiles. A super-librarian is needed for that.

Here is the link to Saroyan's quote as well: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/4107...
According to Wicki the source is : The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze (1934)

Gerd | 1050 comments Changed the quote to Saroyan and added book source to it.
Didn't find a identical quote to merge it with.
