“CHONA: ¿Sabes qué? Me dan ganas de comérmelo a besos y de meterlo conmigo en una cama y que me despeine, me desvista y me desbarate.
ROMANA (_aterrorizada_): ¿En dónde aprendiste eso?

“She is a mortal danger to all men. She is beautiful without knowing it, and possesses charms that she's not even aware of. She is like a trap set by nature - a sweet perfumed rose in whose petals Cupid lurks in ambush! Anyone who has seen her smile has known perfection. She instills grace in every common thing and divinity in every careless gesture. Venus in her shell was never so lovely, and Diana in the forest never so graceful as you.”
― Cyrano de Bergerac
