Quiz - Who would you talk to from history?

CherylNYC · 11-11-2013, 02:18 PM

In no particular order:

Virginia Woolf. What a mind!

Johann Sebastian Bach. I wouldn't even care whether or not he said anything interesting. I would just want to bask in his presence.

Hildegarde von Bingen. An unsurpassed mystic and polymath who in the 11th century ruled Belgium, wrote astonishingly beautiful music including a wonderfully convincingly work about the superiority of women, and had girlfriends.

Louis Sullivan, as long as he was sober.

Alma Mahler. She had Gustav Mahler, Oskar Kokoshka, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel. 'Nuff said.

Michelangelo and DaVinci together, as long as no young boys were present.

Emma Stebbins. The first woman to get a major sculpture commission in the U.S., and leader of the, (ahem), Rome Amazons, a community of expat American women sculptors based just outside Rome in the 1850s. I want to meet any historic women who biographers describe as having an 'unconventional lifestyle'.

Marilyn Monroe

Frida Kahlo

Eva Peron

I think they speak for themselves!

Albert Einstein. I love science and I think he and I would get on quite well.

Mozart. Piano is the activity of my soul and he is one of my favourite composers. I would absolutely love for him to teach me how to play his music.

J.S. Bach for the same reason.

If I can have a bonus one I'd go for Hans Asperger. I think it would be really interesting to meet him. Autism is something of an interest of mine.

Emma Goldman because she was a righteous babe, I would SO try to have my way with her after dinner, bold brilliant anarchist dames make me hot

Albert Einstein because he was my hero as a kid

JW von Goethe because he was a crazy genius
