    Interesting thread. I'm actually having to think quite hard to narrow it down to 5.

    Dangerous list there. The first would probably have you killed, depending on his mood. The second and last would have you killed, depending on what time in their life/career you appear.


    I would like to meet:

    Constantine
    Peter the Great
    Aleksandr Pushkin
    Alexander Hamilton
    Che Guevara

    Nah, any of those 5 is far more interesting, imo.

In view of our divine essence, we need only liberty and work; in view of our mortal nature, we need for our direction a guide and a support. A government is not then, as a distinguished economist has said, a necessary ulcer; it is rather the beneficent motive power of all social organisation.

And then one of the prisoners came, stood by me for a while, put a hand on my shoulder and said to me, something that I will never forget: ''Tränen sind denn nicht genug, mein Junge,

    G. W. F Hegel -that would spare me much work, and I like his jokes.

    Immanuel Kant - for a good dispute to test myself

    a person from the 13th or 14th century, like Dozsa of Debrecen. I would suggest him a new job in Hungary. The same as he had back then: making order.

    Vlad Dracula: I find his entire character appealing.
    Friedrich Nietzsche: I can think of no man who shares my views on meritism to such an extent. The true antithesis of Marx; quite ironic that they lived in the same time.
    Leonardo da Vinci: I have Domenico Laurenza's book Leonardo's Machines and I have to say the guy was nothing short of amazing. I saw a display of his various inventions at a museum in Venice.
    Nefertari: The woman who put Cleopatra's looks to shame.
    Zalmoxis: Compared by many ancient authors to Budha, Moses, Chronos, and Zeus.
