The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway

This quote was added by genevajmm
It was too good to last, he thought. I wish it had been a dream now and that I had never hooked the fish and was alone in bed on the newspapers. "But man is not made for defeat," he said. "A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
