I'd like to meet:
People with interesting stories to tell and new perspectives to share. Lanky brunettes with wicked jaws. Nerdy recluses and fighters for justice.
And people who find the irony of this .
People who don't give up easily.

Heroes:
Orwell was a poet not so much in his means of expression as in the nature of his vision, which could strip the sprawling tangle of the world around him down to its core with the simplicity of a timeless flash of intuition (the sort of intuition enjoyed by Dionysiacs, according to Plato, or by epileptics, according to Dostoevsky, or by devotees of mescalin according to Mr. Aldous Huxley); and which then turned deliberately to the most ascetically plain tools of expression to communicate it.
