Additional quotes by Edmond Rostand

...But...to sing,
to dream, to smile, to walk, to be alone, be free,
with a voice that stirs and an eye that still can see!
To cock your hat to one side, when you please
at a yes, a no, to fight, or- make poetry!
To work without a thought of fame or fortune,
on that journey, that you dream of, to the moon!
Never to write a line that's not your own...

« C’est la nuit qu’il est beau de croire à la lumière.»

CYRANO: — of pride, of aspiration, Of feeling, poetry — of godlike spark Of all that appertains to my big nose, [He turns him by the shoulders, suiting the action to the word]: As. . .what my boot will shortly come and kick! THE BORE [running away]: Help! Call the Guard! CYRANO: Take notice, boobies all, Who find my visage's center ornament A thing to jest at — that it is my wont — An if the jester's noble — ere we part To let him taste my steel, and not my boot!
