    Try passages of Shakespeare it's very hard to find modern classical. Go and check out a bookstore with a theatre books section eg. Paper One and you should be able to find books of monologues

    Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19–28:

    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

    To the last syllable of recorded time;

    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

    And then is heard no more. It is a tale

    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

    Signifying nothing.

    Hey, who doesn't feel this way at one time or another?

    Contemporary: try http://www.arthurjolly.com/monologuesM.html

    Classical: Try Marlowe as well as Shakespeare. Not as "overdone" but still good.
