Don Quixote is not an imaginary person; he is as real as Alexander the Great.

Don Quixote is not just Don Quixote;
La Mancha is not just geography;
It is our personal territory—
Terra Nostra.

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.

Quixote shines from Lorca and Picasso,
From Dalí and El Greco,
From the gloomy 'View of Toledo.'
He was born before Cervantes.

Truth is hard-hearted and unrelenting, too clear, precise; a lie is much more imaginative.

Sunbathe from within.
