This year, my theme is Quotes from A-Z. Each day I will post a quote from a person whose name starts with each day's letter. It will be short and sweet but hopefully it will bring a moment of inspiration, laughter, or meditation to your busy day. I would love to hear your thoughts on the quotes in the comments or what other quote is your favorite by that day's person. On each Saturday, I will list all the quotes from the week and you can vote to tell me which was your favorite!
Q is for Don Quixote
(1605- present) Spanish knight errant
 |
| Don Quixote and Sancho Panza by Gustav Dore -1863, Wikipedia |
“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!”
Quote found on Goodreads.
Hope you had a great weekend!

Wonderful on the "Q" that was a quote or something close to it for a few years ago...

Not as it should be - yes, indeed!
ReplyDeleteHe kind of summed it up well with that last thought of is; to see life as it is, and not as it should be! Sometimes we get stuck in the drudgery of life and forget the beauty of it!

I try to see life as it should be, but the universe isn't agreeing with me at the moment :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this one. "Seeing life as it should be..." If only everyone did that ! Great theme! Quotes are so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat quote for Q! I bet it was much too easy to live a plan and uninspired existence back in Don Quixote's day - but it's still great advice for today's world as well: be daring, be bold, be...a little crazy now and then :-)

I love the idea of surrendering dreams as madness. Great quote all the way around.
