Hemingway's classic quotes
1. Life always leaves us battered and bruised, but in the end, those wounded places will become our strongest points.
— *A Farewell to Arms*2. We spend two years learning to speak, but sixty years learning to be silent. Most of the time, the more we talk, the further apart we become, and the more conflicts arise. In communication, most people are always eager to express themselves, to get it all out, but they don't understand the other person at all. Two years to learn to speak, a lifetime to learn to be silent. Whether you understand or not, say less. When your heart is troubled or calm, speak slowly. If you really have nothing to say, then don't say anything.

Yet, he could see the refraction of light in the black depths, the fishing line stretching forward, and the strange undulations of the calm surface.
