Die young, leave a good looking corpse. And one hell of a legend

Personal desire is chief.
Greed, Powerlust, Pride, vengance, proving.
Alexander exhibits such traits throughout his life.

He wasn't that young.
"He that wasn't good looking" t. Greeks
Keyword is legend, probably the worst thing for a serious leader.

Alexander is the Civilization-esque equivalent of a one night stand.

There are many indications that Alexander did not really have a "plan" for administering an empire after his conquests.

Have you read Robin Lane Fox's biography?

There are many indications that the empire created under his conquests was basically breaking at the seams by the time of Alexander's death.
(Revolts in Greece, dysfunctional satrapies, a possible assassination attempt put on Alexander by Antigonus).

The quote is anachronistic but it does hold some indication of the "character" and "world view" of Alexander.
