Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra Quotes

If One Were To Reply That Those Who Compose These Books Write Them As Fictions, And Therefore Are Not Obliged To Consider The Fine Points Of Truth, I Should Respond That The More Truthful The Fiction, The Better It Is, And The More Probable And Possible, The More Pleasing. Fictional Tales Must Engage The Minds Of Those Who Read Them, And By Restraining Exaggeration And Moderating Impossibility, They Enthrall The Spirit And Thereby Astonish, Captivate, Delight, And Entertain, Allowing Wonder And Joy To Move Together At The Same Pace; None Of These Things Can Be Accomplished By Fleeing Verisimilitude And Mimesis, Which Together Constitute Perfection In Writing.
