Quote context

[...]

- Can this be he, who lies upon the ground, crying in fear of the law and of the tongues of men, when he himself is the law and the measure of right and wrong?

- Whatever is done by supreme power is right.

- These are words.

- And Cleitus is dead, and I killed him.

- We will go back, Macedonians.

- And I, Ptolemy, companion of Alexander, later Pharaoh of Egypt, bear witness to the terrible return from India to Babylon.

- For the first time in the ten years since he left Macedonia, Alexander, sick and weary, retreated.

- But he turned even this retreat into victory.

- For within him, out of the death of Cleitus, a new idea was born, a new understanding, a new driving force that it was not lands that must be conquered, but the hearts of men.

- And at the end of the thirsty road, at Susa, Alexander pledged himself and us to this new idea.

- Make this union fruitful as the seeds of the earth, and let the children of Alexander, a Greek, and Roxane, a Persian, be of both worlds and live in one.
