“Do we grieve for Don Quixote? And does anyone have any grief at the age of “the advertisings and news”? And did not our communication become in “big Quixotic jungle”? Don Quixote is absent In this story. And as we know each gap is filled with something. What do we fill our souls with? How do we replace childhood, dreams, fantasies, little riots of personality… Are we persons at all? Where are the giants, the windmills, the olive groves? Where are the sunrises? And is it really everything behind us? Is it true that we no longer see our faceс in the mirror? Are we crying? Are these tears?
“The big Quixotic jungle ” will laugh at you to cry.” 

Maria Stankova
