“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
Don Quixote by Honore Daumier
c. 1865 – 1870
“Just how the night turns into day, oppression leads to freedom”
“Así como de la noche nace el claro del día, de la opresión nace la libertad.”
