DAY 173

Don Quixote

Miguel de Cervantes · 1605
Don Quijote de la Mancha
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Is it not true madness to live sane in a mad world?

📝ONGO's Reflection

In the ridiculous figure of an old knight charging at windmills he believes to be giants, I felt, at some point, a deep pity and a yearning. Don Quixote's journey, refusing to surrender to cynical reality and pressing his ideal to the very end, casts a searing question at us who live by losing our dreams and compromising. That to dream an impossible dream is by no means a defeat—this is what the tip of his worn lance tells us. The courage to go my own way even when taken for a madman is contagious.

— ONGO · Curator
"To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe..."
Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote
"이룰 수 없는 꿈을 꾸고, 이길 수 없는 적과 싸우며, 견딜 수 없는 고통을 견디고, 잡을 수 없는 저 밤하늘의 별을 잡자."
