There can be love without jealousy, but not without fear.
Original text (Spanish)
Original text (Spanish)
There's not the least thing can be said or done, but people will talk and find fault.
Fear is sharp-sighted, and can see things underground, and much more in the skies.
Take care, Your Worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.
All Miguel de Cervantes quotes →
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
