*Everything about him is old, except his eyes. His eyes were as blue as the sea, cheerful and unyielding.

*The sail was patched with flour sacks and rolled up like a flag of eternal defeat.

*At sea, reticence is considered a virtue. The old man has always recognized and respected this. But now that he had spoken out loud many times what was on his mind, he wouldn't bother anyone anyway.

*Every day is a new day.

*But the old man has always regarded the sea as a woman. Whether she gives great favors, refuses to give them, or becomes savage and evil, it is all because she cannot help herself. He thought that the moon affected her as the moon affects women.

* "Age is my alarm clock," the old man said. "Why do older people wake up earlier? Do they want to have a longer day?"

* "If you were my child, I would definitely take you out to gamble," he said. "But you belong to your parents, and you followed a lucky ship."

* "I can remember everything from the time we went to sea together to now."

* "I haven't forgotten," said the old man. "I know you didn't leave me because you didn't have confidence in me."

* Then he changed his mind and said, you should always think about one thing, that is what you are doing, there is no room for mistakes. .

*No one should be alone in old age, he thought. However, this cannot be avoided.

*Perhaps it has been trapped by fishhooks many times before, and it knows how to fight. What it had no way of knowing was that it was dealing with a single person, and an old man at that.

*The way he swallowed the bait was like a male fish, the way he pulled the line was like a male fish, and he fought without any panic. I really want to know, does it have a well-thought-out plan, or is it just taking the risk like me, just out of desperation?

* Its choice is to stay in the dark deep water, away from all traps, traps and tricks. My choice is to rise above everyone else and find it where it hides. Above all others in the world. Now we are joined together and have been since noon. And we are each alone.

*Maybe I shouldn't have been a fisherman, he thought. But this is what I was born for. I make sure to remember to eat tuna after dawn.

* "Fish," he said softly, but loudly. "I will stay with you even if I die."

* He thought, as long as the fish can hold on, I can hold on as long. In the first ray of sunlight, the fishing line stretched out and sank into the water. The boat moved smoothly, and when the sun showed its initial edge, the sun just shone on the old man's right shoulder.

*Anything is meaningful only if it is practical
