Don Quixote is unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive." - Milan Kundera I've also read the Grossman translation of "Don Quixote", including page 9 of the "P.S." section which includes the quote by Kundera you passed off as your own.

Quixote is so anti-heroic: he always does the wrong thing, at the wrong time, in the wrong place--yet, so much for the right reasons.
