By the one God, Sancho, no more proverbs.
In "Don Quixote," Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra explores the whims and adventures of an aging gentleman who imagines himself a knight. His loyal squire, Sancho Panza, often provides comic relief and practical wisdom. The relationship between the two is central to the narrative, highlighting the contrast between idealism and realism.
The quote, "By the one God, Sancho, no more proverbs," reflects Don Quixote's frustration with Sancho's reliance on traditional sayings. It underscores the theme of the clash between the romantic notions of chivalry that Don Quixote embodies and the pragmatic reality represented by Sancho. This illustrates the broader tensions in the story between dreams and everyday life.
