"Diogenes was sunning himself in a grove near Corinth when Alexander, having heard of his reputation as a sage, came out to meet him. Standing over him, Alexander said, “Ask whatever you wish of me!” Diogenes replied, “Stand out of my light. This ambiguous phrase can mean, “Stop blocking my sunlight”, but it can also mean, “Don’t block the light I am giving to the world.”
