The Old Man and the Sea Quotes

"Age is my alarm clock," the old man said. "Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?" "I don't know," the boy said. "All I know is that young boys sleep late and hard." - Ernest Hemingway (The Old Man and the Sea Quotes)

“Age is my alarm clock,” the old man said. “Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?” “I don’t know,” the boy said. “All I know is that young boys sleep late and hard.”
