The Duke: This La Mancha—what is it like?The Governor: An empty place. Great wide plains.Prisoner: A desert.The Governor: A wasteland.The Duke: Which apparently grows lunatics.Cervantes: I would say, rather...men of illusion.The Duke: Much the same. Why are you poets so fascinated with madmen?Cervantes: I suppose...we have much in common.The Duke: You both turn your backs on life.Cervantes: We both select from life what pleases us.
