Tosca Quotes

“How the stars shone.
How sweet the earth smelled.
The orchard gate creaked,
and a footstep pressed on the sand.
And she entered, fragrant as a flower, and fell into my arms.
Oh, sweet kisses, lingering caresses.
Slowly, trembling, I gazed upon her beauty.
Now my dream of true love is lost forever.
My last hour has flown, and I die, hopeless, and never have I loved life more.”
― Puccini Giacomo 1858-1924, Tosca

“Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore,
non feci mai male ad anima viva!”
― Giacomo Puccini, Tosca

“Beware: this is a place of tears.

Questo è luogo di lagrime! Badate!”
― Giacomo Puccini, Tosca
