" The Duke: This La Mancha—what is it like?
The Governor: An empty place. Great wide plains.
Prisoner: A desert.
The Governor: A wasteland.
The Duke: Which apparently grows lunatics.
Cervantes: I would say, rather...men of illusion.
The Duke: Much the same. Why are you poets so fascinated with madmen?
Cervantes: I suppose...we have much in common.
The Duke: You both turn your backs on life.
Cervantes: We both select from life what pleases us. "
― Dale Wasserman , Man of La Mancha
