My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
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
A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the 'I' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.
Edmond Rostand
The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life, without a dream?
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
