86 Quotes by Edmond Rostand

My soul, be satisfied with flowers, with fruit, with weeds even; but gather them in the one garden you may call your own.

I-I am going to be a storm-a flame- I need to fight whole armies alone; I have ten hearts; I have a hundred arms; I feel too strong to war with mortals- BRING ME GIANTS!

It is at night that faith in light is admirable.

A great nose may be an index Of a great soul

My wit is sharper then the finest mustache, and when I walk among men I make truths ring like spurs.

I have a different idea of elegance. I don't dress like a fop, it's true, but my moral grooming is impeccable. I never appear in public with a soiled conscience, a tarnished honor, threadbare scruples, or an insult that I haven't washed away. I'm always immaculately clean, adorned with independence and frankness. I may not cut a stylish figure, but I hold my soul erect. I wear my deeds as ribbons, my wit is sharper then the finest mustache, and when I walk among men I make truths ring like spurs.

I sing, not to hear the echo repeat, a shade fainter, my song! I think of light and not of glory! Singing is my fashion of waging war and bearing witness. And if my song is the proudest of songs, it is that I sing clearly to make the day rise clear!

To offend is my pleasure; I love to be hated.

I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow.
