“Brutus be so fat, when he sit around da forum, he sit AROUND da forum.” Actual quote.
But apparently he did say something to the effect of, “The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look.”
Caesar’s last word was “Ackk!”Was
Too many cats in Springfield?
“Eat two, brute”
You win.
I always cringe a little when words from a movie or play are attributed to the character or the actor spouting them. The quotes should be attributed to the writer (or the real life person who said them.)
In most cases, the “deep” quotes you see on the internet are not accurate. But they sound good.
Caesar’s actual last words, “Ow! What the f+++? You a&&holes! ARRGH-uh.”
Or “Come on, really guys!”
He did say “you friggin brute” though at his stab fest
It’s hard to be all eloquent when you’re being stabbed 23 times.
“You Brute!..You Brute!...You Vicious Brute!”
Socrates: “I drank what?!”
I find the best source for accurate quotes being the “Deep quotes by Jack Handey”, such as
““Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you’ll be a mile from them, and you’ll have their shoes.”.”
“Where did all those Indians come from?” - General George Custer.
I believe Caesar’s last words were “Ouch! That stings, you a-holes!” Winston Churchill never said that the three traditions of the Royal Navy were rum, buggery, and the lash, either, although he did say he wished he’d thought of it. Pancho Villa covered it nicely with “Don’t let it end like this. Tell them I said something”, but probably not since you don’t say much after you’ve been shot by a firing squad. History can be boring sometimes.
Reminds me of how people think Tina Fay pretending to be Sarah Palin “I can see Russia from my house”
I always preferred Wuthering Heights.
