"In short, our gentleman became so caught up in reading that he spent his nights reading from dusk till dawn and his days reading from sunrise to sunset, and so with too little sleep and too much reading his brains dried up, causing him to lose his mind."
- Miguel de Cervantes, from Don Quixote, 1605. Illustration, 1863, by Gustave Doré.

“… perché né il bene né il male possono durare in eterno; e quindi ne consegue che, poiché il male è durato a lungo, il bene deve essere ormai vicino.”

This is life, and I will not lie by saying every day will be sunshine. But there will be sunshine again, and that is a very different thing to say.
You will be warm again.

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!
— Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Dio benedica chi ha inventato il sonno, mantello che avvolge i pensieri di tutti gli uomini, cibo che soddisfa ogni fame, peso che equilibra le bilance e accomuna il mandriano al re, lo stolto al saggio.
