Don Quijote / Don Quixote Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Don Quijote / Don Quixote:

Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad. George Bernard Shaw

Every autobiography is concerned with two characters, a Don Quixote, the Ego, and a Sancho Panza, the Self.

W. H. Auden

I know that many writers have had to write under censorship and yet produced good novels; for instance, Cervantes wrote Don Quixote under Catholic censorship.

Guillermo Cabrera Infante

I don't remember much about the specifics of the economics courses that I majored in - I apparently internalized the key concepts - but I still remember vividly the thrill of reading 'Don Quixote,' Epictetus, 'The Aeneid,' 'King Lear' and 'Candide,' and how contemporary the stories and ideas in these old and ancient texts struck me.

Daniel S. Loeb

Don Quixote is one that comes to mind in comparison to mine, in that they both involve journeys undertaken by older men. That is unusual, because generally the hero of a journey story is very young.

David Guterson

I've always wanted to play Don Quixote in some way. It's a great role. I think the idealism of the man shows that hope that we have in the human breast to achieve something.

Dominic Chianese

Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman, but believing what he read made him mad.

George Bernard Shaw

There are so many great characters because one of the things that makes Batman fantastic is that Batman is tragic. I've said this elsewhere; I've said it over and over again, but the beauty of the character is that he's a Don Quixote.

Greg Rucka

While we are reading, we are all Don Quixote.

Mason Cooley

Inside every Sancho Panza there's a Don Quixote struggling to get out.

P. J. O'Rourke

The distance between Don Quixote and the petty bourgeois victim of advertising is not so great as romanticism would have us believe.

Rene Girard

I'm not interested in being Don Quixote. I'm interested in running the City of New York.

Sal Albanese

I think a fictional invention grows according to its own development, not the author's. Characters in fiction are not simply as alive as you and me, they are more alive. Becky Sharp, Elizabeth Bennett, and Don Quixote may not outlive the burning out of the sun, but they will certainly outlive the brief candle of our lives.
