Don Quixote by Cervantes: An old man falls so deeply in love with reading books of chivalry that he goes crazy and decides to become a knight errant, taking with him an old skinny horse and a skeptical neighbor named Sancho Panza. Together they seek to right all wrongs, and doggedly pursue honor and glory at all cost—despite being frequently laughed at, beaten up, belittled, and patronized by everyone else.
“There are those who travel down the broad highway of arrogant ambition; others who employ hypocritical deceit; and there are some who take the way of true religion; but I, drawn by my star, travel down the narrow path of knight errantry, which profession leads me to scorn wealth, but not honor. I have set injuries and insults straight, righted wrongs, punished arrogance, conquered giants, and trampled on monsters; simply because knights errant are required to be lovers, I am a lover, yet not a depraved, but only a chaste and platonic one. In everything I do I strive toward the good, which means that I try to do good to everyone and evil to no one – and the man who follows this path, and takes on these tasks, and so conducts himself, if he deserves to be called a fool, then call him so.”
