Don Quixote Mixtape

Permalink

In continuation of the literary mixtapes I have been posting here is one of my favorites, on Don Quixote.  

“No man can read Don Quixote without a feeling of self-contempt.  To forget this, many laugh at him that they may not weep for themselves.  The life of Don Quixote was a life of zen; indifferent to the opinions of his fellows, without a single thought of self, or self-aggrandizement, or self-expression, he lived twenty-four hours every day, following his instincts (his ideals) as whole-heartedly, as truly, as naturally as the blooming of flowers in spring, as the falling of leaves in autumn” - R. H. Blyth,  Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics
