E.R. EddisonThis last best luck of all: that earth should gape for me when my great deeds were ended.
About This Quote
The last best luck of all is to be remembered. No matter how many times people find out about your great deeds, there will always be someone who remembers you. People remember you for what you did, not how many times they saw you do it. If this last best luck of all does not come to pass, then there is no one left who will remember you or your great deeds.
