Don quixote goodreads

Don quixote on love

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Don Quixote. The most perceptive character in a play is the fool, because the man who wishes to seem simple cannot possibly be a simpleton. The fault lies not with the mob, who demands nonsense, but with those who do not know how to produce anything else. Perhaps to be too practical is madness.

Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!

Don quixote quotes dawn

To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Take my advice and live for a long, long time. Because the maddest thing a man can do in this life is to let himself die. Sancho Panza. The wounds received in battle bestow honor, they do not take it away. For neither good nor evil can last for ever; and so it follows that as evil has lasted a long time, good must now be close at hand.

Wit and humor do not reside in slow minds. The truth may be stretched thin, but it never breaks, and it always surfaces above lies, as oil floats on water. Until death it is all life. Truly I was born to be an example of misfortune, and a target at which the arrows of adversary are aimed. When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?
