My heart always timidly hides itself behind my mind. I set out to bring down stars from the sky, then, for fear of ridicule, I stop and pick little flowers of eloquence.
("Cyrano De Bergerac")
More Quotes from Edmond Rostand:
And what is a kiss, specifically A pledge properly sealed, a promise seasoned to taste, a vow stamped with the immediacy of a lip, a rosy circle drawn around the verb to love. A kiss is a message too intimate for the ear, infinity captured in the bee's brief visit to a flower, secular communication with an aftertaste of heaven, the pulse rising from the heart to utter its name on a lover's lip 'Forever'.Edmond Rostand
All our souls are written in our eyes

Take it, and turn to facts my fantasies.
Edmond Rostand
It is coming... I feel Already shod with marble... gloved with lead... Let the old fellow come now He shall find me On my feet sword in hand He draws his sword. I can see him there he grins He is looking at my nose that skeleton What's that you say Hopeless Why, very well But a man does not fight merely to win No, no, better to know one fights in vain ... You there, Who are you A hundred against one I know them now, my ancient enemies He lunges at the empty air. Falsehood ... There There Prejudice Compromise Cowardice Thrusting What's that No Surrender No Never never ... Ah, you too, Vanity I know you would overthrow me in the end No I fight on I fight on I fight on.
Edmond Rostand
All my laurels you have riven away, and my roses; yet in spite of you, there is one crown I bear away with me... One thing without stain, unspotted from the world, in spite of doom mine own! And that is... my white plume.
Edmond Rostand
