Quotations and Notable Excerpts - Don Quixote

[Peregrine]

Your grace, come back, Senor Don Quixote, I swear to God you're charging sheep! - Grossman translation, p.129

[Dianna]

From all that I have said you must clearly see, my good simpletons, that genealogies are involved in endless confusion, and that those only are illustrious and great who are distinguished by their virtue and liberality, as well as their riches; for the great man who is vicious is only a great sinner , and the rich man who wants liberlity is but a miserly pauper. lThe gratification which wealth can bestow is not in mere possession, nor in lavishing it with prodigality, butr in the wise appliecatiojn of it" (p 318 book 2 chapter vi. Dodd, Mead and Co.).

[Thomas]

Don Quixote's crazy, we're sane, and he walks away healthy and laughing, while your grace is bruised and sad. So tell me now, who's crazier: the man who's crazy because he can't help it or the man who chooses to be crazy? (Book 2, Ch 15, trans. Grossman)
