About Miguel de Cervantes: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish novelist, poet, and playwright.
The eyes those silent tongues of love.
Our hours in love have wings; in absence, crutches.
Love and war are the same thing, and stratagems and policy are as allowable in the one as in the other.
Alas! all music jars when the soul's out of tune.
No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.
There is nothing so subject to the inconstancy of fortune as war.
