Someone at work asked how old I was....

So, in the best tradition of my previous employer, I gave them a puzzle to solve.

I share a birthday (but not year) with someone very famous. His memorable quote was made a LONG way from home, and according to most versions of the story, he didn't say /quite/ what he planned to say.

Another famous speech started the process that sent him there. I was born in the year the man who made it was killed.
