"True love never has a happy ending,..." - Quote by Alexander Great

“Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a lovely thing to live with courage and die leaving an everlasting fame.”

“I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.”

“Youths of the Pellaians and of the Macedonians and of the Hellenic Amphictiony and of the Lakedaimonians and of the Corinthians... and of all the Hellenic peoples, join your fellow-soldiers and entrust yourselves to me, so that we can move against the barbarians and liberate ourselves from the Persian bondage, for as Greeks we should not be slaves to barbarians.”

“The pleasure of love is in loving; we are happier in the passion we feel than in what we inspire.”

“In the opera we call love, the libretto is almost nothing.”

“When it comes to giving love, the opportunities are unlimited, and we are all gifted.”

“Do you see O my brothers and sisters? It is not chaos or death, it is form, union, plan, it is eternal life, it is happiness.”

“Once out of nature I shall never take My bodily form from any natural thing, But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make Of hammered gold and gold enameling To keep a drowsy Emperor awake; Or set upon a golden bough to sing To lords and ladies of Byzantium Of what is past, or passing, or to come.”

“And I leave you now, not with sadness but with satisfaction and joy that we came together and walked, arm in arm, through this brief moment of eternity. Who could ask for more?”
