Franz KafkaWhat's happened to me, ' he thought. It was no dream.
About This Quote
Hemingway said, "What's happened to me,' he thought. It was no dream." Taken from his short story, "A Very Short Story": "What's happened to me,' he thought. It was no dream. He was quite sure of that now. He had thought about it all night long and why shouldn't he believe what he thought? He didn't know how it would end, that was true, but he knew that it wasn't a dream." These lines are powerful because of the story they come from and the way Hemingway wrote them.
