The book won a Pultizer Prize for Fiction in 1953 and Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. On the surface, it is a tale of an aged fisherman and his struggle to land a giant marlin. At a deeper level, this classic novel studies man\u2019s resolution, faith and endurance in the face of defeat. Here are a dozen great quotes from this timeless story:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.<\/li>\n<li>Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?<\/li>\n<li>He did not say that because he knew that if you said a good thing it might not happen.<\/li>\n<li>No one should be alone in their old age, he thought. But it is unavoidable.<\/li>\n<li>I may not be as strong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.<\/li>\n<li>Let him think that I am more man than I am and I will be so.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s silly not to hope. It&#8217;s a sin he thought.<\/li>\n<li>The thousand times that he had proved it means nothing. Now he was proving it again. Each time was a new time and he never thought about the past when he was doing it.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cBut man is not made for defeat,&#8221; he said. &#8220;A man can be destroyed but not defeated.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.<\/li>\n<li>Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?<\/li>\n<li>He rested sitting on the un-stepped mast and sail and tried not to think but only to endure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Old Man and the Sea is Ernest Hemingway\u2019s last major work of fiction, first published in 1952.
