	"Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day. For a true writer each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed. How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him." I think Hemingway had a "style" about him that you could attribute to sensing, but where his style came from wasn't from a sensory position. You could look reasoning like this: Hemingway was a man of action. Hemingway hated to talk about writing. He thought it took the mystery out of the craft. He also believed it would make you a bad writer to talk about it too much. Simple principle: If you’re a leader, don’t spend your time talking about your work, spend your time actually doing it. Learn to choose action over words…unless, of course, your action is words, like Hemingway. And believe he was sensing because he was a very "action-oriented" person who didn't dwell on on the ideational side to what he did, but I think that's just him "stowing away" his creative side rather than not being attentive to it. In a way, you could say he was actually doing a service to his creativity by preserving it and not necessarily exposing or discussing the more intuitive process behind his work. I also think there is something inherently imaginative about his commentary? Check it out: "I learned never to empty the well of my writing, but always to stop when there was still something there in the deep part of the well, and let it refill at night from the springs that fed it." "If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water." "The man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without." "There's no one thing that is true. They're all true." Quotes like this I think are misleading: "My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way." This sounds sensing, but the difference between intuition and sensing never directly had to do with concision and simplicity. I don't think this is an "intuitive" quote, but somebody saying this shouldn't automatically be categorized as a sensor. There's a very "concrete" way he has about his writing, but it doesn't seem concrete to me in a "sensor-like" way—it's just that he prefers a simpler way about life. I'm not sure how Hemingway would see himself, though. He may err toward sensing questions that relate to being "concrete," but I feel like he would relate to the "imaginative and novel" side to intuition.
