The inspirational quotes of the Old Man and the Sea are as follows:

1. When facing setbacks and failures, we must first defeat ourselves before we can win back the battle with fate.

2. I hope I can raise these fish, he thought. He is my brother. But I had to kill him and be strong enough to handle it. Conscientiously, he slowly ate all the wedge-shaped elongated fish.

3. I have lived a lifetime, and the rising sun has pricked my eyes all my life, he thought, but my eyes have not been pricked yet. In the evening, I can look directly at the sun without my eyes getting dark. Evening sunlight is more penetrating, but only early morning sunlight can sting your eyes.

4. The old man is skinny, with deep wrinkles on the back of his neck, and brown patches on his face caused by benign skin tumors, which are caused by the reflection of sunlight on the tropical ocean.

5. I don’t know what I would do if he came down or if he fell to the ground and died. But I know I will do something. There are many things I can do.

6. But none of these scars are new. They are as old as eroded spots in a fishless desert. Everything about him looked ancient except his eyes, which were as blue as the sea and were cheerful and unwilling to admit defeat.
