Veni, Vidi, Vici is probably Julius Caesars most famous quote (well, that and Et Tu Brutus) and I really get pleasure from seeing how it has been appropriated in popular culture and literature. I’m geeky like that. I guess it comes with the media whore territory
It’s a Latin phrase which Caesar used in a message to the Roman Senate after the battle of Zela. Must have been pretty cool, as that all he said in his message
“I came, I saw, I conquered”
Found these on wikipedia
You might remember it being used in Oceans Eleven when George Clooney was talking about a foiled robbery attempt at a casino, and said ‘"He came, He grabbed, They conquered."
Jay-Z also uses it n Encore with Linkin Park - I came, I saw, I conquered From record sales, to sold out concerts
In the 1990s, T-shirts were available with the line, "Veni, vidi, veggie: I came. I saw. I had a salad."
I saw this on Saals facebook page (this is where i got the idea from initially - thanks Saals) - "Veni, Vidi, Velcro," I came, I saw, I stuck around.
Or from a consumer's point of view, "Veni, Vidi, Visa," I came, I saw, I went shopping.
