the best of Cervantes is untranslatable, and this undeniable fact is in itself an incentive [for one and all] to learn Spanish. ~ Aubrey F.G. Bell
La Mancha quotes by Aubrey F.G. Bell
In short, to sum up all in a few words, or in a single one, I may tell you I am Don Quixote of La Mancha, otherwise called 'The Knight of the Rueful Countenance;' for though self-praise is degrading, I must perforce sound my own sometimes, that is to say, when there is no one at hand to do it for me. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
In a village of La Mancha, ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha is a very macho, chauvinistic society. I saw very clearly that my life had to be in Madrid, and I liberated myself from my mum and dad after high school. ~ Pedro Almodovar
La Mancha quotes by Pedro Almodovar
Those in Argentina, Mexico and Peru,
Colombia and the Caribbean
Bear La Mancha and Quixote in their hearts
For he is an ultimate and overlooked Don Juan. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
La Mancha quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
All the world stand, unless all the world confess that in all the world there is no maiden fairer than the Empress of La Mancha, the peerless Dulcinea del Toboso. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Little did they suspect that the years would end by wearing away the disharmony.
Little did they suspect that La Mancha and Montiel and the knight's frail figure would be, for the future, no less poetic than Sinbad's haunts or Ariosto's vast geographies.
For myth is at the beginning of literature, and also at its end. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
La Mancha quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Don Quixote is not just Don Quixote;
La Mancha is not just geography;
It is our personal territory
Terra Nostra. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
La Mancha quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
Somewhere in la Mancha, in a place whose name I do not care to remember, a gentleman lived not long ago, one of those who has a lance and ancient shield on a shelf and keeps a skinny nag and a greyhound for racing. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
It's madness to see life as it is and not how it should be. ~ Knight Of The Woeful Countenance
La Mancha quotes by Knight Of The Woeful Countenance
Manuela de La Mancha," says a deep voice. It sounds strange to hear such a long name, but that's the manada I'm pretending to be from.

"Hola, Marilén," I say to Tiago and Saysa's great-grandmother, whom I met moments ago.

"No sos bruja." You're not a witch.

My tongue feels like sandpaper, and my mouth seals dry. Since our wolf-shadows roam outside the Citadel, and my fangs and claws are retracted, I didn't think there would be any indicator of my identity -

"No te preocupes, no vengo a interrogarte." Don't worry, I'm not here to interrogate you.

She moves closer, and the way her steely eyes seem to see more than others reminds me of Perla. "Toda la vida soñé con conocerte," she whispers. My whole life I've dreamt of meeting you.

Her long black hair is in a tight, elegant bun that pulls her skin, stretching it so that if there's a single wrinkle, I don't see it. "La primera de nosotras que nació fuera de su jaula."

The first of us to be born outside her cage. ~ Romina Garber
La Mancha quotes by Romina Garber
The past is over and done. We all stumble on our way to maturity. We all look for love in the wrong arms, happiness in the wrong places. But out of it, you've become real. You've got a heart of immense compassion for the brokenness of others. You are utterly incapable of hypocrisy, and I am deeply in love with you." ~ Don Quixote To Dulcinea In Man Of La Mancha
La Mancha quotes by Don Quixote To Dulcinea In Man Of La Mancha
her name is Dulcinea, her kingdom, Toboso, which is in La Mancha, her condition must be that of princess, at the very least, for she is my queen and lady, and her beauty is supernatural, for in it one finds the reality of all the impossible and chimerical aspects of beauty which poets attribute to their ladies: her tresses are gold, her forehead Elysian fields, her eyebrows the arches of heaven, her eyes suns, her cheeks roses, her lips coral, her teeth pearls, her neck alabaster, her bosom marble, her hands ivory, her skin white as snow, and the parts that modesty hides from human eyes are such, or so I believe and understand, that the most discerning consideration can only praise them but not compare them. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
If, for my sins, or by my good fortune, I come across some giant hereabouts, a common occurrence with knights-errant, and overthrow him in one onslaught, or cleave him asunder to the waist, or, in short, vanquish and subdue him, will it not be well to have some one I may send him to as a present, that he may come in and fall on his knees before my sweet lady, and in a humble, submissive voice say, 'I am the giant Caraculiambro, lord of the island of Malindrania, vanquished in single combat by the never sufficiently extolled knight Don Quixote of La Mancha, who has commanded me to present myself before your Grace, that your Highness dispose of me at your pleasure'? ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
'La Mancha' was a gift from me to me. I never thought for a minute it was going to be a hit. ~ Mitch Leigh
La Mancha quotes by Mitch Leigh
There is remedy for all things except death - Don Quixote De La Mancha ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
She left my world spinning
like windmills
on the plains of la Mancha. ~ Stephen Brooke
La Mancha quotes by Stephen Brooke
In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
La Mancha quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
Neruda had his first dream,
First meeting with the Moon and the Sun
In sunny La Mancha, hiding in his heart,
Where he learned how to sing like a nightingale. ~ Dejan Stojanovic
La Mancha quotes by Dejan Stojanovic
God help us - we are both men of La Mancha. ~ Dale Wasserman
La Mancha quotes by Dale Wasserman
He is not to pass for a man of reason who stumbles upon reason by chance but he who knows it and can judge it and has a true taste for it. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
When unjust laws are duly weighed,
The king, too, may be disobeyed.
They owed their true prince everything. ~ Pedro Calderon De La Barca
La Mancha quotes by Pedro Calderon De La Barca
La pensée n'est qu'un écliar au milieu d'une longue nuit. Mais c'est cet éclair qui est tout.

Thought is only a flash in the middle of a long night. But this flash means everything. ~ Henri Poincare
La Mancha quotes by Henri Poincare
Moderation is an ostentatious proof of our strength of character ... ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
There is something to be said for jealousy, because it only designs the preservation of some good which we either have or think wehave a right to. But envy is a raging madness that cannot bear the wealth or fortune of others. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Hark ye, you Cocklyn and la Bouche, I find by strengthening you, I have put a rod into your hands to whip myself, but I am still able to deal with you both; but since we met in love, let us part in love, for I find that three of a trade can never agree. ~ Howell Davis
La Mancha quotes by Howell Davis
The only thing constant in life is change. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
What the people call eloquence is the facility some persons have of speaking alone and for a long time, aided by extravagant gestures, a loud voice, and powerful lungs. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
La Mancha quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
Some people are so extremely whiffling and inconsiderable that they are as far from any real faults as from substantial virtues. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I rent houses in LA when I'm filming. I find the isolation there terrifying. There's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to be with people. I'm not a beach bunny. ~ Kathleen Turner
La Mancha quotes by Kathleen Turner
[Preston] Hotchkis had earned his position by representing San Marino, a tiny, rich, Anglo municipality south of Pasadena that had been tellingly named after a European micro-kingdom. ~ Victor Valle
La Mancha quotes by Victor Valle
Ah, if you knew what peace there is in an accepted sorrow! ~ Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
La Mancha quotes by Jeanne Marie Bouvier De La Motte Guyon
We live in an age in which ideas, important ideas, are worn like articles of fashion - and for precisely the same reason articles of fashion are worn, which is to make the wearer look better and to feel à la mode. ~ Tom Wolfe
La Mancha quotes by Tom Wolfe
As soon as they're out of your sight, you are out of their mind. ~ Walter De La Mare
La Mancha quotes by Walter De La Mare
No matter how much individuals do through their own efforts, they cannot actively purify themselves enough to be disposed in the least degree for the divine union of the perfection of love. God must take over and purge them in that fire that is dark for them, as we will explain. ~ San Juan De La Cruz
La Mancha quotes by San Juan De La Cruz
Many young persons believe themselves natural when they are only impolite and coarse. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself. ~ Oscar De La Renta
La Mancha quotes by Oscar De La Renta
The great charm of conversation consists less in the display of one's own wit and intelligence than in the power to draw forth the resources of others. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
La Mancha quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
This skin thing always pisses me off. What I need is a nopal on my forehead to let the world know about my roots. One of those flat cactus plants that my grandpa grew behind the house before he died--nopal en la frente. Yup. That would solve all my problems. ~ Isabel Quintero
La Mancha quotes by Isabel Quintero
Sometimes, too, when their spiritual masters, such as confessors and superiors, do not approve of their spirit and behavior (for they are anxious that all they do shall be esteemed and praised), they consider that they do not understand them, or that, because they do not approve of this and comply with that, their confessors are themselves not spiritual. And so they immediately desire and contrive to find some one else who will fit in with their tastes; for as a rule they desire to speak of spiritual matters with those who they think will praise and esteem what they do, and they flee, as they would from death, from those who disabuse them in order to lead them into a safe road - sometimes they even harbour ill-will against them. Presuming thus, they are wont to resolve much and accomplish very little. Sometimes they are anxious that others shall realize how spiritual and devout they are, to which end they occasionally give outward evidence thereof in movements, sighs and other ceremonies; and at times they are apt to fall into certain ecstasies, in public rather than in secret, wherein the devil aids them, and they are pleased that this should be noticed, and are often eager that it should be noticed more. ~ Juan De La Cruz
La Mancha quotes by Juan De La Cruz
She really did trust Eliza. People made mistakes. She understood that now. And as Happy as she was to be with Ryan again, her friendship with Eliza was just as important. You only met a few kindred spirits in your life, and you had to hold on to the ones you were lucky enough to find. ~ Melissa De La Cruz
La Mancha quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
First dates are great ways to see how someone acts when putting his best foot forward. ~ Amy Leigh Mercree
La Mancha quotes by Amy Leigh Mercree
The worst effect of tutelage is that it negates self-discipline, and therefore people suddenly released from it are almost bound to make fools of themselves. ~ Suzanne La Follette
La Mancha quotes by Suzanne La Follette
They that apply themselves to trifling matters commonly become incapable of great ones. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Aristotle could have known so much more if he cooked. ~ Juana Ines De La Cruz
La Mancha quotes by Juana Ines De La Cruz
Kingsley, ever the joker, had his Venator mark tattooed near his unmentionables ~ Melissa De La Cruz
La Mancha quotes by Melissa De La Cruz
Ajax gaped. "What the f-"
"Fibula? Another excellent word! Tra la! ~ Jessica Cluess
La Mancha quotes by Jessica Cluess
Flattery is false money, which would not be current were it not for our vanity. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
My dad has never once told me after a fight that I did well. ~ Oscar De La Hoya
La Mancha quotes by Oscar De La Hoya
We never desire strongly, what we desire rationally. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
La Mancha quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Lawford had soundlessly stolen a pace or two nearer, and by stopping forward he could, each in turn, scrutinize the little intent company sitting over his story around the lamp at the further end of the table; squatting like little children with their twigs and pins, fishing for wonders on the brink of the unknown. ~ Walter De La Mare
La Mancha quotes by Walter De La Mare
Jacques La Borwitz had his points, no doubt, but so have the sub-microscopic protozoa, so has a dog prowling for a bitch and a bone." -Cecelia Brady ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
La Mancha quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Ma vie piu lieta, piu ridente a belle/ ardisce aprire il seno al sol la rosa ... which express that the rose is more daring then the humble violet! ~ Marina Fiorato
La Mancha quotes by Marina Fiorato
I cannot just write a frivolous book, a la-di-da book. Everything isn't la-di-da. There is something that's going to pull you up short. I want to reassure young readers. I want to comfort them, to not fear the unexpected. ~ Sharon Creech
La Mancha quotes by Sharon Creech
