Diogenes was a Greek philosopher famed for ignoring all earthly fame and fortune. When Alexander the Great met him, Diogenes was sunbathing beside a heap of trash.
Having heard of Diogenes and greatly admiring the Greek philosopher, Alexander reportedly told him to ask for anything and it would be granted: money, power or land.
To this, Diogenes replied simply: "Please move out of the way, you are blocking my sun."
