Lol, I wouldn't even be mad if this happened, would be the greatest boss move ever.
"He wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."
That line always kills me.....
That line is from John Carvil who was quoting a lost work of Plutarch.....and it is massively butchered
The actual quote for Alexander was something like he wept knowing the endless worlds left to conquer.
Alexander realized how large the planet was, so as great as Die Hard version of the quote is, it is almost exactly backwards.
Well crap. Thanks Dshearn
Edit: Interesting how often that happens… like Robert Frost and The Road Not Taken. Just what I need… to be more skeptical. Haha. Thanks though!
Well..... the misquote is better.
You have this epic actor deliver this epic line that is so poetically perfect.... I love that line
but yeah its wrong... what was actually written as not nearly as good.
I had to google it but here is the quote
"Alexander of Macedon, who, upon hearing that there were other worlds, wept that he had not yet conquered one"
To circle back to football, Alexander in his mind lost in the playoffs Lol :op
