Teresa dice –dijo Sancho– que ate bien mi dedo 7 con vuestra merced, y que hablen cartas y callen barbas 8, porque quien destaja no baraja, pues más … - Miguel de Cervantes

Good brother, if you want to say something, say it quickly, because these brethren are disciplining their flesh and we cannot listen to anything, nor is it right for us to do so, unless it is so brief that it can be said in two words.” “I shall say it in one,” replied Don Quixote, “and it is this: you must immediately release that beauteous lady whose tears and melancholy countenance are clear signs that you take her against her will, and have done her some notable wrong, and I, who was born into the world to right such iniquities, shall not consent to your taking another step forward until you give her the freedom she desires and deserves.

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

By the Blessed Virgin ! Is it possible that your grace is so thickheaded and so short on brains that you cannot see that what I'm telling you is the absolute truth.
