Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Vos, hermano, idos a ser gobierno o ínsulo, y entonaos a vuestro gusto; que mi hija ni yo, por el siglo de mi madre, que no nos hemos de mudar un paso de nuestra aldea: la mujer honrada, la pierna quebrada, y en casa; y la doncella honesta, el hacer algo es su fiesta. Idos con vuestro don Quijote a vuestras aventuras, y dejadnos a nosotras con nuestras malas venturas, que Dios nos las mejorará como seamos buenas; y yo no sé, por cierto, quién le puso a él don, que no tuvieron sus padres ni sus agüelos.
