Quotations

The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life without a dream?

I am what I am because early in life I decided that I would please at least myself in all things.

A kiss is a secret which takes the lips for the ear.

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


A large nose is in fact the sign of an affable man, good, courteous, witty, liberal, courageous, such as I am.

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


Your name hangs in my heart like a bell’s tongue.

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


A kiss is a rosy dot placed on the “i” in loving.

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


I loved but once, yet twice I lose my love!

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


I have ten hearts; I have a hundred arms; I feel too strong to war with mortals,
BRING ME GIANTS!


A large nose may be an index of a large soul.

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


My heart always timidly hides itself behind my mind. I set out to bring down stars from the sky, then, for fear of ridicule, I stop and pick little flowers of eloquence.

(“Cyrano de Bergerac”)


My soul, be satisfied with flowers,
With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own.


Go! I shall walk in the shadows by your side: I will be your spirit, you will be my beauty.

( “Cyrano de Bergerac”)
