"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? To be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams—this may be madness. But maddest of all is to see life as it is and not as it should be. And so I tell you, Sancho, that stories are not mere lies; they are the truth disguised in the robes of fancy, and he who reads them with faith may find in them the keys to all wisdom."

— Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
