Alonso Quijana, a rich middle-aged man. Quijana, having read many tales about chivalry and knights, goes crazy and believes that he is a knight named Don Quixote. He rides around the country with his squire, Sancho, having adventures. He believes his adventures are real, but everyone else laughs at him.

This is my quest,

To follow that star,

No matter how hopeless,

No matter how far.

To fight for the right,

Without question or pause,

To be willing to march into Hell,

For a heavenly cause.

And I know if I'll only be true

To this glorious quest

That my heart will lie peaceful and calm

When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,

That one man, scorned and covered with scars

Still strove with his last ounce of courage

To reach the unreachable star.
