There isnt any symbolism. The sea is the sea. The old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark are all sharks no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know. – Ernest Hemingway
You write a book like that youre fond of over the years, then you see that happen to it, its like pissing in your fathers beer. – Ernest Hemingway
