YOU are not Don Quixote. ;-)
YOU are a regurgitation.
I am a regurgitation.
Yes, Dr. Sexson did say that the world is "divided into pragmatic Sancho Panzas and idealistic Don Quixotes." But I believe that on Wednseday he proved himself wrong. I think what he really wants to say is that the world is divided into regurgiations of the pragmatic Sancho Panza and regurgitations of the idealistic Don Quixote. Because we all know that it doesn't matter how much we want to be in the books, be in the stories... he WAS living the fantasy. (I wish I could do this myself, sometime... maybe always...).
I would go as far to say that our lives would be extended even further than they already are though our love of books.... if we could live as Don Quixote lives.
Imagine that! If he were to believe he was able to live 1,000 years old because of an incredible story he had read in his time of reading/going koo-koo, then he would "really" live that long.
But back to my point at hand, if you and I can both be regurgitations of a man as idealistic and wonderful as Don Quixote, that's perfect. I don't think that any human being can find a more perfect person to be the regurgitative product of. So enjoy it and embrace every story like that... it's how we al should and I'd even go as far as saying it's the reason that English Majors are English Majors (we all have a little Quixote in us. ;)
