"In that case," said Don Quixote, "the Lord has relieved me of the task of avenging his death had any other slain him; but, he who slew him having slain him, there is nothing for it but to be silent, and shrug one's shoulders; I should do the same were he to slay myself; and I would have your reverence know that I am a knight of La Mancha, Don Quixote by name, and it is my business and calling to roam the world righting wrongs and redressing injuries."
-Desa suerte -dijo don Quijote-, quitado me ha Nuestro Señor del trabajo que había de tomar en vengar su muerte si otro alguno le hubiera muerto; pero, habiéndole muerto quien le mató, no hay sino callar y encoger los hombros, porque lo mesmo hiciera si a mí mismo me matara. Y quiero que sepa vuestra reverencia que yo soy un caballero de la Mancha, llamado don Quijote, y es mi oficio y ejercicio andar por el mundo enderezando tuertos y desfaciendo agravios.
