Albert EinsteinEven on the most solemn occasions I got away without wearing socks and hid that lack of civilization in high boots
About This Quote
This quote by Ernest Hemingway is not about socks, but is about his practicality in wearing clothes when traveling. He was known for wearing pants with no shoes when he went on trips, leaving his socks at home. He did this to make sure he did not have to pay for new shoes while he was out on the road. The point of this saying is that Hemingway did not drink the Kool-Aid of others. He did not fall for trends of the day, even on the most solemn occasions.
