It's the great secret ordsprog

It's the great secret Caesar knew and that Octavian (Caesar's successor, the future emperor Augustus) would find out, because he learned a great deal from Caesar: that as long as you retain the forms of a democratic republic, you can gut the whole thing. It's how you sell the sizzle, not the steak. A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice.

The things that threatened me,
Ne'er looked but on my back;
For when they see the face of Caesar
They are vanished.
-Julius Caesar

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

William Shakespeare

And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? / They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.

I don't care if it's a mystery story, a Western, or the story of Julius Caesar. To me it's the emotion, the lies, the double-cross, whether it's Brutus doing it to Caesar or Bob Stack doing it to Robert Ryan that defines what kind of drama it is.

Samuel Fuller (1946-)

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly: / Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? / But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? / Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

He's a known character. We designed it so that when you see Caesar, it's through other people's eyes, it's how the people around him see him. Because, to a degree, a character like Caesar is always unknowable.

Mark Antony in his famous funeral oration in Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar' says that he came not to praise Caesar, but to bury him. This week, at the funeral for the widow of Dr. Martin Luther King, two of the speakers, Jimmy Carter and Rev. Joseph Lowery, might have opened their remarks by saying that they came not to bury Coretta Scott King, but to bash [President] Bush, which is exactly what they proceeded to do.

What millions died that Caesar might be great?

What millions died that Caesar might be great?

Joseph Campbell (1904-1987)

Joseph Campbell

Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

From the first time I saw Sid Caesar be funny I knew that's what I had to do.
