How can you choose to play a petty role, Dull and domestic, and content your soul With joys no loftier than keeping house And raising brats, and pampering a spouse? Let common natures, vulgarly inclined, Concern themselves with trifles of that kind. Aspire…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/1965 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/1965 "If we take fifty-two from sixty -four, we get twelve; five years you spent in Holland, seventeen; seven years spent in England, twentyfour; eight years in Rome, thirtytwo, and if to thirty twowe add your age when we first became acquainted, wee have exactly fifty two. So that, Mr. Sganarelle…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/3294 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/3294 "No, madam, there is no need for a stick, but only a heart less yielding and less melting at their love-tales. I am aware that your good looks accompany you, go where you will; but your reception retains those whom your eyes attract; and that gentleness, accorded to those who…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/3436 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/3436 "Hush, my good nature, you haven't a grain of sense, And I'll no longer hear your arguments. It's you, my anger, that I'll listen to. Am I obliged forever to undo The blunders of a clod? I should resign. That fool's spoiled too many schemes of mine. And yet, let's…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/3762 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/3762 "As soon as I saw you, before anyone could tell me, I should have known you.

[Listens] My fear increases every minute! Gentlemen, you see in me a friend of the whole world. Ah! what boldness in me to walk about at this time of the night! My master, all covered with glory as he is, plays me here but a wretched trick…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/2222 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/2222 "What! Would you have a man bind himself to the first girl he falls in love with, say farewell to the world for her sake, and have no eyes for anyone else? A fine thing, to be sure, to pride oneself upon the false honour of being faithful, to lose…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/1564 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/1564 "SGANARELLE: No, I tell you; they made a doctor of me in spite of myself. I had never dreamt of being so learned as that, and all my studies came to an end in the lowest form. I can't imagine what put that whim into their heads; but when I…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/1823 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/1823 "MADELEINE: Good heavens! If everybody was like you a love-story would soon be over. Matrimony ought never to happen till after other adventures. A lover, to be agreeable, must understand how to utter fine sentiments, to breathe soft, tender, and passionate vows; his courtship must be according to the rules…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/787 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/787 "Her case is nothing, though, beside her son's! To see him, you would say he's ten times worse!

In household's prison, asking to be locked with spouse and screaming babies? Well, I'm shocked. My dear, you must give up this foolish goal. Through knowledge you will elevate your soul And…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/2731 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/2731 "No, madam, there is no need for a stick, but only a heart less yielding and less melting at their love-tales.

Do not jest. This is no time for laughing. Blush rather, you have cause to do so; and I have undeniable proofs of your treachery.

When she comes to visit me, I suffer from martyrdom; one has to rack one's brain perpetually to find out what to say to her; and the impossibility of her expressing her thoughts allows the conversation to drop every minute. In vain you…" http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/512 http://www.monologuesearch.com/monologues/512 "As I was sitting sewing on the balcony, I raised my eyes and saw, beneath that very tree, A handsome, fine young man, who, seeing me up there, Bowed most respectfully, and with a courtly air. I wanted to be civil, that was my concern, So I made a respectful…"
