How to use "Quixotic" in context?
Though the word "quixotic" is often used to describe reckless or foolish behavior, the defining characteristic of the quixotic is its purpose. A quixotic goal is one that is impractical or wildly implausible, but which the individual persists in hoping to achieve nonetheless. Famous historical quixotic figures include Jean-Jacques Rousseau, William Wordsworth, and Robert Graves. In modern life, quixotic goals can often be found in the arts, where great artists sacrifice commercial success in pursuit of loftier goals.
