Lenghty?

(p 412) But Don Ferdinand's friends, the curate, the barber, and all the company (not forgetting honest Sancho Panza) got together about Don Ferdinand, and entreated him to pity the beautiful Dorthea's tears; that, considering what she had said, the truth of which was apparent, it would be the highest in justice to frustrate her lawful hopes; that their strange and wonderful meeting could not be attributed to chance, but the peculiar and directing Providence of Heaven; that nothing (as Mr. Curate very well urged) but death could part Cardenio from Lucinda; and that though the edge of his sword might separate them, he would make them happier by death than he could hope to be by surviving; that, in irrecoverable accidents, a submission to fate, and a resignation of our wills, showed not only the greatest prudence, but also the highest courage and generosity; that he should not envy those happy lovers what the bounty of Heaven had conferred on them, but that he should turn his eyes on Dorthea's grief; view her incomparable beauty, which, with her true and unfeigned love, made large amends for the meanness of her parentage; but principally it lay upon him, if he gloried in the titles of Nobility and Christianity, to keep his promise unviolated; that the more reasonable part of mankind could not otherwise be satisfied, or have any esteem for him: also that it was the special prerogative of beauty, if heightened by virtue and adorned with modesty, to lay claim to any dignity, without disparagement or scandal to the person that raises it; and that the strong dictates of delight having once been indulged, we are not to be blamed for following them afterwards, provided they be not unlawful.

Read that again, or if you skipped over it please go back and read it. That is one sentence from Don Quixote. I think it is the longest that I've seen, but I could be wrong. No, I'm not reading it just for the long sentences, but they are fun. It is quite interesting to read along for lines and all of a sudden realize that you haven't come to a period yet. :-)
