Cervantes Prize Recipient

Famous quotes containing the words cervantes, prize and/or recipient:

    Miracle me no miracles.
    —Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    Then, though I prize my friends, I cannot afford to talk with them and study their visions, lest I lose my own. It would indeed give me a certain household joy to quit this lofty seeking, this spiritual astronomy, or search of stars, and come down to warm sympathies with you; but then I know well I shall mourn always the vanishing of my mighty gods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
