Miguel de Cervantes

Spanish - Novelist September 29, 1547 - April 23, 1616

With the author

Love and war are the same thing, and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other.

Miguel de Cervantes

For a man to attain to an eminent degree in learning costs him time, watching, hunger, nakedness, dizziness in the head, weakness in the stomach, and other inconveniences.

Miguel de Cervantes

No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.

Miguel de Cervantes

Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.

Miguel de Cervantes

To withdraw is not to run away, and to stay is no wise action, when there's more reason to fear than to hope.

Miguel de Cervantes

That's the nature of women, not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not.

Miguel de Cervantes

The eyes those silent tongues of love.

Miguel de Cervantes

He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.

I applied to Oxford in the '80s and was invited to an interview. It was like a scene from 'Billy Elliot.' People were making fun of me for my accent and the way I was dressed. It was the most embarrassing, awful experience I had ever had in my life.

Fiona Hill

Defeat is a wonderful experience if it motivates you to never forget you're only as good as your last performance.

Paul Heyman

I think that the point of being an architect is to help raise the experience of everyday living, even a little. Putting a window where people would really like one. Making sure a shaving mirror in a hotel bathroom is at the right angle. Making bureaucratic buildings that are somehow cheerful.

David Chipperfield

My stated goal as a filmmaker is to feel something. Is to have a palpable emotion in my life, carry it through the gauntlet of the filmmaking process and try and have it land for an audience at some point during the viewing experience. That to me is successful filmmaking.

Jeff Nichols

My most memorable science fiction experience was 'Star Wars' and seeing R2D2 and C3PO. I fell in love with those robots.

Cynthia Breazeal

If we want to make sense of our behavior - all the best, worst, and everything in between - we're not going to get anywhere if we think it can all be explained with one thing, whether it's one part of the brain, one childhood experience, one hormone, one gene, or anything.

Robert Sapolsky

In love stories you have to establish the mood and then you can go on. Writing thrillers are difficult because every scene needs a twist. May be comedy is even more difficult but I have no experience of it.

The kind of improv that I'm particularly addicted to is the kind that... aims at creating a momentary, fragmentary experience that has a totality to it. It's kind of like fireworks. It's the more ephemeral of art forms - once it's gone, it's gone, baby.
