Lines by Miguel de Cervantes
Miguel de Cervantes
Spanish novelist and playwright · 1547–1616
Miguel de Cervantes was a soldier, captive and tax collector before he wrote Don Quixote. The novel, in two parts of 1605 and 1615, is often called the first modern novel.
Whoever reads much and walks much, sees much and knows much.
El que lee mucho y anda mucho, vee mucho y sabe mucho.
