The Sun Also Rises (Primary source)
Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, published in 1926, is a seminal novel of the Lost Generation—a term used to describe the disillusioned youth who came of age during and after World War I. Set primarily in Paris and Spain during the 1920s, the novel follows a group of American and British expatriates as they grapple with themes of aimlessness, love, masculinity, and the search for meaning in a fractured postwar world.

— Ernest Hemingway (verified)“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”
