God save us all and his Holy Mother too!’ Sancho exclaimed. ‘How can you be so thick-skulled and empty-headed you can’t see that what I’m saying is the plain truth, and that it’s more through roguery than enchantment you’re in this mess and in this cage? But since that’s the way it is I’m going to give you clear proof that you aren’t enchanted.

Additional quotes by Miguel de Cervantes
