"A true pilot must of necessity pay attention to the seasons, the heavens, the stars, the winds, and everything proper to the craft if he is really to rule a ship." - Plato

"What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!" - H. P. Lovecraft
Lovecraft wrote some interesting fiction, to be sure, but he was also a racist, so I wouldn't be interested in chatting with him. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy his work, however.

One of my favourite writers who died far too young. I wish I could have had just one conversation with him.
