And the world will be better for this,We've heard these words, which comprise the final stanza of the show's most famous song "The Impossible Dream," dozens, maybe even hundreds of times. But in context within Man of La Mancha their forthright, matter-of-factnessunderlines their urgency. Now more than ever, we need ideals to believe in and hold onto: it's not the quixoticness that appeals, but the firm moral purpose.
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable stars!
