That is the way with woman, to disdain the man who loves her, and to love the man who disdains her. - Miguel de Cervantes

¿No es cosa extraña ver con cuánta facilidad cree este desventurado hidalgo todas estas invenciones y mentiras, sólo porque llevan el estilo y modo de las necedades de sus libros?

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!

There is no greater folly in this world than for a man to despair.
