Cyrano de Bergerac

“To philosophize is to doubt.”

“I believe that the Moon is a world like ours, to which this one serves as a Moon.”

“A fine death is a masterpiece.”

“Thus, it is a great folly to hope that other men will rejoice in our advantages.”

“Fire is a living being, which eats, grows, and moves, like an animal.”

“A large nose is the mark of a witty, courteous, affable, generous and liberal man.”

“He who is his own master is a king.”

“I was not of the humor of many, who find it strange that a man should be witty, and a swordsman at the same time.”

“Nothing is less in a man's power than his heart.”
