Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for his two-part novel Don Quixote, a work considered to be the first modern novel. Don Quixote has been labelled by many well-known authors as the "best book of all time" and the "best and most central work in world literature".
“Acontece tener un padre un hijo feo y sin gracia alguna, y el amor que le tiene le pone una venda en los ojos para que no vea sus faltas, antes las juzga por discreciones y lindezas y las cuenta a sus amigos por agudezas y donaires.”
“Of good natural parts and of a liberal education.”
“It is past all controversy that what costs dearest is, and ought to be, most valued.”
“You can see farther into a millstone than he.”
“Many count their chickens before they are hatched; and where they expect bacon, meet with broken bones.”
“Puede haber amor sin celos, pero no sin temores.”
