Quotation 5

"........ are the enemy of truth."

by Miguel de Cervantes

Cervantes was really one of the most influential writers of all times. His book Don Quixote is a well known story in almost all countries and surely a classical one. The concept of Don Quixote converted to a term used in Turkish to describe men behaving with meaningless effort. That is behaving like in a "mad courage" mood with no real support against a big power.

Don Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra (September 29, 1547 – April 23, 1616)

was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright. Cervantes was one of the most important and influential persons in literature and the leading figure associated with the cultural fluorescence of sixteenth century Spain (the Siglo de Oro). His novel, Don Quixote, is considered as a founding classic of Western literature and regularly figures among the best novels ever written; it has been translated into more than sixty-five languages, while editions continue regularly to be printed, and critical discussion of the work has unabatedly persisted since the 18th century.
