Interesting choice. That's a name I never would have expected to see.

[Mr. Pedantic]

yet you dont revere him enough to spell his name right?

/grammar nazi

Ah, I don't revere him that much.

"Revere" is too strong a word, but for writers I would list Samuel Beckett, Vladimir Nabokov, Thomas Pynchon, TS Eliot, Robert Frost, and for his one most transcendent poem, the WWI poet Wilfred Owen. It was a brutal task editing this particular list down.

For music it would be Robert Zimmerman and Tom Waits.

In the realm of American politics, I admire the deep personal courage of Jeanette Rankin and Edmund Ross. And I am deeply grateful to Abraham Lincoln, who helped preserve the United States of America.

Internationally, Nelson Mandela comes as close to a man with a near spotless record of impeccable courage as I can imagine.

Nikola Tesla is one person I highly respect, ahead of his time and never got the credit he deserved.
