"Brother, this is not a day on which hunger is to have any sway, thanks to the rich Camacho; get down and look about for a ladle and skim off a hen or two, and much good may they do you." "I don't see one," said Sancho. "Wait a bit," said the cook; "sinner that I am! how particular and bashful you are!" and so saying, he seized a bucket and plunging it into one of the half jars took up three hens and a couple of geese, and said to Sancho, "Fall to, friend, and take the edge off your appetite with these skimmings until dinner-time comes."

Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
Por desgracia, en el mundo la verdad anda escondida, por los rincones disfrazada con los nombres de filosofía, ciencia y franqueza, mientras que la mentira anda por calles, plazas y salones, disfrazada con los brillantes nombres de educación, galantería, etiqueta, y otros mucho más hipócritas todavía.
DON BELIANÍS DE GRECIA A DON QUIJOTE DE LA MANCHA Soneto Rompí, corté, abollé, y dije y hice más que en el orbe caballero andante; fui diestro, fui valiente, fui arrogante; mil agravios vengué, cien mil deshice. Hazañas di a la Fama que eternice; fui comedido y regalado amante; fue enano para mí todo gigante, y al duelo en cualquier punto satisfice. Tuve a mis pies postrada la Fortuna, y trajo del copete mi cordura a la calva Ocasión al estricote. Más, aunque sobre el cuerno de la luna siempre se vio encumbrada mi ventura, tus proezas envidio, ¡oh gran Quijote!
