Pankaj Mishra Quotes
According To The Historian Arrian Who Reported The Encounter, The Ascetics Beat Their Feet On The Ground As Alexander Passed Them. When Asked About The Gesture, They Said That Alexander Occupied, Despite His Conquests, No More Ground Than That Covered By The Soles Of His Two Feet. Like Everyone Else, He, Too, Was Mortal, 'except That You Are Ambitious And Reckless, Traversing Such A Vast Span Of Land, So Remote From Your Home, Enduring Troubles And Inflicting Them Upon Others'.4
