Ah non ! C'est un peu court jeune homme
On pourrait dire, O Dieu, bien des choses en somme
En variant le ton, par exemple, tenez:
Agressif: moi monsieur, si j'avais un tel nez
Il faudrait sur le champ que je me l'emputasse !
Amical: mais il doit tremper dans votre tasse
Pour boire faîtes-vous donc fabriquer un hanap.
Descriptif: c'est un roc ! c'est un pic ! c'est un cap !
Que dis-je, c'est un cap ? c'est une péninsule !

Additional quotes by Edmond Rostand

Noi abbiamo sempre in tasca lettere pronte per la divinità... Frutto della nostra fantasia, visto che apparteniamo a quella razza d'uomini che per amante si prendono un sogno soffiato nella bolla d'un nome!

Cyrano: I can see him there — -he grins — -
He is looking at my nose — -that skeleton — -What's that you say? Hopeless? — -Why, very well! — -
But a man does not fight merely to win!
No — -no — -better to know one fights in vain!...
You there — -Who are you? A hundred against one — -
I know them now, my ancient enemies — -
Falsehood!...There! There! Prejudice — -Compromise — -Cowardice — -
What's that? No! Surrender? No!
Never — -never!...
Ah, you too, Vanity!
I knew you would overthrow me in the end — -
No! I fight on! I fight on! I fight on!
Yes, all my laurels you have riven away
And all my roses; yet in spite of you,
There is one crown I bear away with me,
And to-night, when I enter before God,
My salute shall sweep all the stars away
From the blue threshold! One thing without stain,
Unspotted from the world, in spite of doom
Mine own! — -
And that is...
Roxane: — -That is...
Cyrano: My white plume....
