Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man Quotes:

Nick Adams: You've already had twelve drinks. How can you be thirsty?
Billy Campbell: [Clasping the side of Nick's face] It's an emotional thirst, not a physical one. You wouldn't understand.
Nick Adams: Look, what can you tell in four days?
George: I'll tell ya what I can tell. I can tell ya that three times a day I get hungry and every twenty-four hours I get an irresistible urge to go to sleep in a bed. I don't wanna beg and I don't wanna steal. I don't want a cop tellin' me I'm a vagrant and runnin' me outta town. I'm sorry to desert you, but I'm not cut out for this kind of a life.
Nick Adams: Listen, Dad, you're always coming to me about Mother. Why don't you go to her for me and explain to her that I'm not a boy anymore.
Dr. Henry Adams: I'd hate like hell to donate you to a war that doesn't even concern us. It's bad enough to die for your own country!
John: Ah, couldn't be worse! There's nothing worse than war!
Italian Sergeant: Defeat is worse!
John: I don't believe it! What is defeat? You go home!

Gary Cooper's death in 1961 prevented him from playing the role of Nick's doctor father.
The ten "Nick Adams" stories utilized by screenwriter A.E.
