Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Jests that give pains are no jests.
Miguel de Cervantes

Miguel de Cervantes
Is it possible your pragmatical worship should not know that the comparisons made between wit and wit, courage and courage, beauty and beauty, birth and birth, are always odious and ill taken?.
