Pío Baroja Quote

Ante la vida no hay más que dos soluciones prácticas para el hombre [=ser humano] sereno: o la abstención y la contemplación indiferente de todo o la acción limitándose a un círculo pequeño. Es decir, que se puede tener el quijotismo contra una anomalía; pero tenerlo contra una regla general es absurdo.
