Are then in council, and the state of a man,
Like to a little kingdom, suffers then
The nature of an insurrection.”
― Julius Caesar

When real death came it was an outrage, a denial of the immortality he deeply felt, and the one crack in his wall caused the whole structure to crash. I think he had always thought he could argue himself out of death. It was a personal opponent and one he could lick.”
