Famous Quotes of Alexander the great

Every light is not sun is my favourite

God grant me enough breathes, so that I can see the most beautiful woman in the World, my mother

I love being shot right into my feelings. I have only one single heart at my disposal anyways, take it gleefully, my lord 😭 It's even more poignant and heart wrenching when you know he died in Babylone, far far away from the woman of his life so his wish had never been fulfilled 🥺 To a demigod that had brought the biggest empires and forces of his time and the World at his feet, turned the impossible into possible, by the end of his life, even a wish as simple, genuine and pure as the one to cherish his mother's sight one last time, couldn't come true. Ironically tragic, it is ! Alexander's life alone can serve as muse to Racine, to make him acquire singlehandely the notoriety he gained for his famous tragedies all gathered.

Bury my body and don't build any monument. Keep my hands out so the people know the one who won the world had nothing in hand when he died.

This one is glorious and epic as well !

One question by the way. Why from these quotes, Alexander sounds so mesmerized and blown away by the Afghan people ? Was his military compaign in Afghanistan as spectacular as it was in Egypt ?

As Aunty said, you are indeed the most resourceful one here @Luckysnow 😛 Thanks a lot for sharing all these bribes with us 🤗

To Olympia: I am involved in the land of a leonine and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a well of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander.

Cvs CVS should should have kept olympia away...no doubt ...

In Afghanistan for first time ever Alexander was fatally wounded...Cleitus wasn't there to help him...and because of their hatred for Roxana generals and soldiers were also not upbeat...his battles in Afghan were most difficult ones...😕 Alexander was giving too much importance to her family...way too much infact...

Then Roxana miscarriages...her fault...she was the impetuous one according to arrian...she never listened to him and was always ridding her horse ...also it is the same place where actual romance began between the two...Sometimes I feel sad for her she was only 18 or something and had to face so much hatred..she couldn't have influenced Alexander ..like Greek writers say...also never forget impact of Aristotle on those writers.. Aristotle hated her

If Olympia was kept out of Alexander's periple in the show, in order for Alexander to showcase his immense love and affection for her during her absence by his side, whether it's by his voice over or letters than viewers would sympathize with him way too much through his deep maternal affection. So, no ! If they keep Olympia out of it, their GOOD vs EVIL plot won't make any sense. They have to paint Alexander's character as a dark and ruthless invader to the Indian audience 🥱

Heaven cannot book two suns, nor can earth have two masters : Alexander to Darius

Completely agree, that keeping Olympia away would have made for far more poignant Alexander moments but would have humanized him even further which the CVs can't let happen. I had made peace with the fact that we'd no longer see Olympias/Sameksha after Macedonia, except maybe in flashbacks or commuting through letters with her son.
