2nd Earl of Rochester, Wilmot

[Guest guest]

Saw The Libertine tonight. Was Wilmot on the spectrum. He was

known for saying highly " inappropriate " things. Mostly his mind was on

sex perpetually, but his perseverance was the theatre. More as a

spectator than a contributor. He was said to waste his talents and

considered ahead of his time. From the movie:

Wilmot, Earl of Rochester:

" I do not mean to upset people but I have to speak my mind because what

it in my mind is always more interesting than what is happening in the

world outside my mind. "

To which his servant, Alcock, says:

" Makes you impossible to live with though, you see. "

I can dig that.
