About Miguel de Cervantes

“All becoming and growing—all that guarantees a future—involves pain.”

“The superior man thinks of virtue; the small man thinks of comfort.”

“The time for the healing of the wounds has come.”

“Pass by us, and forgive us our happiness.”

“On our earth we can only love with suffering and through suffering.”

“There were the eternal problems: suffering; death; the poor.”
