The Monday Morning Memo

“What giants?” said Sancho Panza.

“Those you see there,” answered his master, “with the long arms, and some have them nearly two leagues long.”

“Look, your worship,” said Sancho. “What we see there are not giants but windmills, and what seem to be their arms are the vanes that turn by the wind and make the millstone go.”

“It is easy to see,” replied Don Quixote, “that you are not used to this business of adventures.”

— Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605

Random Quote:

“In the 1605 book by Cervantes, Don Quixote never meets Dulcinea. She’s never aware he exists. Yet everything he does is in her name and for her honor.

In reality, the woman he calls Dulcinea is just a common village girl named Aldonza Lorenzo. Dulcinea exists only in the mind of Don Quixote de La Mancha, who, by the way, doesn’t really exist, either. He’s really just a romantic old fellow named Alonso Quijano who dreams of purpose and adventure.

Business is nothing more than a search for purpose and adventure.

If you believe otherwise, you’ve obviously never really thought about it.”
