A TV show that no one knows has completely parasitized the Latin sentence with an origin I was searching. Wikipedia is useless as a tool since it has been colonized by morons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.169.136.35 ( talk) 18:01, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
I see, after having edited this article, that there have been multiple edits on translation. There are two words in Latin that spring immediately to mind. Quod, the first, is 'because'. The second variation is the neuter gender, nominative case, of 'qui', which is a relative pronoun. Horace used the phrase "Eram quod es; Eris quod sum" to describe a state of being. It was often used on gravestones in New England. If you want to use the existential "because", then just try to apply it to the first half of the phrase: "I was because you are." That doesn't even make sense. It's properly: I was what you are, I am what you will be. The More You Know! 75.138.38.57 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 03:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC).
