Hey do you have this as text? where did you find it?

[TAKEMARU666]

@spartanCAGE being born in greece or being of greek decent does not make you greek, just like the great alexander the great said, ( appearance or where you come from does not make you greek its your look on the world and how you percieve it, that makes you greek. to seek reason and order and not judge by appearances makes you greek), course this is not what he said exactly but its extremly close to his quote.
