Diogenes Quotes
Yes, you could move a bit as you are blocking the sun.
The young king, Alexander the Great, traveled to Cranium, a community of scholars and intellects to see Diogenes. Upon finding him sunbathing, Alexander introduced himself and asked the great philosopher if there was anything he would like Alexander to do for him. Alexander so admired Diogenes that he said that if he were not Alexander, he would most like to be Diogenes. The word cranium as the container of the intellect comes from the community of Diogenes.
