If you think of all the enduring stories in the world, they’re of journeys. Whether it’s ‘Don Quixote’ or ‘Ulysses,’ there’s always this sense of a quest - of a person going away to be tested, and coming back Picture Quote #1

I don’t despise ‘Don Quixote,’ but it is a book I don’t... get. I’ll have to come back it. Maybe there’ll be a gateway story that opens it up for me; that happened for me with ‘Paradise Lost’ and the ‘His Dark Materials’ trilogy Picture Quote #1

The wind helps me unwind. I make love like Don Quixote windmilled into history Picture Quote #1

Don Quixote is not an imaginary person; he is as real as Alexander the Great Picture Quote #1

Every autobiography is concerned with two characters, a Don Quixote, the Ego, and a Sancho Panza, the Self Picture Quote #1

Don Quixote’s ‘Delusions’ is an excellent read - far better than my own forthcoming travel book, ‘Walking Backwards Across Tuscany.’ Picture Quote #1

My donkeys are Jack and Don Quixote. They’re very smart, very cautious. Much of what people consider stubbornness in donkeys is actually cautiousness Picture Quote #1

It seemed to us that all people to a greater or lesser degree belong to one of these two types, that almost every one of us resembles either Don Quixote or Hamlet Picture Quote #1

Don Quixote was a song for a 1969 Michael Douglas movie called Hail Hero! I wrote the title song for the film and they also used the Don Quixote one I had submitted Picture Quote #1

The mass of mankind is divided into two classes, the Sancho Panza’s who have a sense for reality, but no ideals, and the Don Quixote’s with a sense for ideals, but mad Picture Quote #1

If you can see something, and it is wrong, you can fight it with a reasonable chance of success. Fighting the nonexistent is worse than pointless: Don Quixote tilted at windmills, but at least windmills are real Picture Quote #1

In the power and splendor of the universe, inspiration waits for the millions to come. Man has only to strive for it. Poems greater than the Iliad, plays greater than Macbeth, stories more engaging than Don Quixote await their seeker and finder Picture Quote #1

I don’t remember much about the specifics of the economics courses that I majored in - I apparently internalized the key concepts - but I still remember vividly the thrill of reading ‘Don Quixote,’ Epictetus, ‘The Aeneid,’ ‘King Lear’ and ‘Candide,’ and how contemporary the stories and ideas in these old and ancient texts struck me Picture Quote #1

Inside every Sancho Panza there’s a Don Quixote struggling to get out Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to play Don Quixote in some way. It’s a great role. I think the idealism of the man shows that hope that we have in the human breast to achieve something Picture Quote #1

Don Quixote is one that comes to mind in comparison to mine, in that they both involve journeys undertaken by older men. That is unusual, because generally the hero of a journey story is very young Picture Quote #1

You are Joseph the dreamer of dreams, dear Jude. And a tragic Don Quixote. And sometimes you are St. Stephen, who, while they were stoning him, could see Heaven opened. Oh, my poor friend and comrade, you’ll suffer yet! Picture Quote #1

For me alone Don Quixote was born and I for him. His was the power of action, mine of writing Picture Quote #1

QUIXOTIC, adj. Absurdly chivalric, like Don Quixote. An insight into the beauty and excellence of this incomparable adjective is unhappily denied to him who has the misfortune to know that the gentleman’s name is pronounced Ke-ho-tay Picture Quote #1

The great thing about rock n’ roll is, if you want to fight - like, fight the system, fight the man, fight the government, fight the people in front of you - it’s Don Quixote all over again. You’re really chasing windmills Picture Quote #1

Don Quixote thought he could have made beautiful bird-cages and toothpicks if his brain had not been so full of ideas of chivalry. Most people would succeed in small things if they were not troubled with great ambitions Picture Quote #1

The greatest part of mankind labor under one delirium or another; and Don Quixote differed from the rest, not in madness, but the species of it. The covetous, the prodigal, the superstitious, the libertine, and the coffee-house politician, are all Quixotes in their several ways Picture Quote #1

I also have this kind of fascination with Don Quixote, kind of like wanting something you’re not going to get. I like that a lot Picture Quote #1

While we are reading, we are all Don Quixote Picture Quote #1
