" "While master of myself, I’ll not permit
The soothing beauty of a tear to roll
Along the crooked contours of this nose.
There’s a sublimity in tears; and I
Would not debase them;
I would never turn
Something sublime to the ridiculous.

Additional quotes by Edmond Rostand
Mais… chanter,
Rêver, rire, passer, être seul, être libre,
Avoir l’œil qui regarde bien, la voix qui vibre,
Mettre, quand il vous plaît, son feutre de travers,
Pour un oui, pour un non, se battre, – ou faire un vers !
Travailler sans souci de gloire ou de fortune,
À tel voyage, auquel on pense, dans la lune !
N’écrire jamais rien qui de soi ne sortît
