"Because the knight errant without love was a tree without leaves and without fruit and a body without a soul"
“In resolution, he became so engrossed in his reading that he spent his nights reading from clear to clear, and the days from cloudy to cloudy; and thus, from the little sleep and the much reading, the brain dried up, so that he came to lose his mind "
"... the high heavens that fortify you divinely from your divinity with the stars, and make you worthy of the merit that your greatness deserves"
"That is a natural condition of women," said Don Quixote, "to disdain those who love them and love those who hate them."
“And, what would be worse, become a poet; which, they say, is an incurable and catchy disease "
“Our hidalgo's age was approaching fifty years old; He was of strong complexion, dry of meat, lean of face, great early riser and friend of the hunt "
“It happens to have a father an ugly son without any grace, and the love he has for him puts a blindfold so that he does not see his faults, before he judges them for discretion and cuteness and tells his friends for wit and grace "

"La Galatea, by Miguel de Cervantes," said the barber. - For many years that Cervantes has been a great friend of mine, and I know that he is more versed in misfortunes than in verses. His book has some good invention; he proposes something, and concludes nothing: it is necessary to wait for the second part that he promises; perhaps with the amendment he will fully achieve the mercy that is now denied him; and, while this is seen, keep him a recluse in your inn, mister compadre "
