“Valour lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.”
“Valour lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.”

“Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water."~ Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra ~”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra“A comparably capacious embrace of beauty and pleasure - an embrace that somehow extends to death as well as life, to dissolution as well as creation - characterizes Montaigne's restless reflections on matter in motion, Cervantes's chronicle of his mad knight, Michelangelo's depiction of flayed skin, Leonardo's sketches of whirlpools, Caravaggio's loving attention to the dirty soles of Christ's feet.”
Stephen Greenblatt, The Swerve: How the World Became Modern“Every novel says to the reader: “Things are not as simple as you think.” That is the novel’s eternal truth, but it grows steadily harder to hear amid the din of easy, quick answers that come faster than the question and block it off. In the spirit of our time, it’s either Anna or Karenin who is right, and the ancient wisdom of Cervantes, telling us about the difficulty of knowing and the elusiveness of truth, seems cumbersome and useless.”
Milan Kundera, The Art of the Novel“Quixote shines from Lorca and Picasso, From Dalí and El Greco, From the gloomy 'View of Toledo.' He was born before Cervantes.”
Dejan Stojanovic“God bears with the wicked but not forever.”
Cervantes“Every man is the son of his own works.”
Cervantes“Man appoints and God disappoints.”
Cervantes“The guts carry the feet not the feet the guts.”
Cervantes“Valour lies just halfway between rashness and cowardice.”
Cervantes“Every one is as God made him and oftentimes a good deal worse.”
