“I will be loved myself--or not at all!”
The quote I choose for
this week is short enough, but it's spoken greatly by Christian,
Roxane's husband in Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac.
Before saying this
line, Christian learns from his wife's mouth that she loves him for
hisbeautiful words and letters, although she at first loved him for
his face only. Well, actually, those words are not his, they are
Cyrano's. That breaks Christian's heart. He tells Cyrano about it,
and asks him to confront Roxane and asks her to choose between him
and Christian. Cyrano says that it's actually okay if Christian wants
to stay with Roxane, but the soldier answers with the quote above.
Many people try to be
someone else in order to be loved. I love this quote because it
reminds us all that it's much better to be loved for what we really
are than to be loved for what we are not.
That's the quote for
this week. Want to share yours?
