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
All my mixtapes can be found by clicking on the tag ‘mixtape’ beside the post, and to listen to this one just go to the streampad at the bottom of my tumblr.
Enjoy.
