Quote from Hamilton (An American Musical) | Aaron Burr: History obliterates. In every picture it paints, it paints me with all my mistakes. When Alexander aimed at the sky, he may have been the first one to die, but I'm the one who paid for it. I survived, but I paid for it. Now I'm the villain in your history. I was too young and blind to see... I should've known. I should've known the world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me. The world was wide enough for both Hamilton and me.
