Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici!

In the movie V for Vendetta. The main character although evil, is quite interesting, he has similar dark and twisted mind as Phantom of the Opera, but his ambition is a lot bigger.

He said, "Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici", it is a phrase from Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus. It is a play on a guy who trades his soul for material gains. He ended up wasting all his skills and enternally damned.

The phrase, however, is a great motto.

It means "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe"!
