You may not know his name, but you might very well know his work. British playwright Sir Peter Shaffer, known for plays such as Equus and Amadeus (the latter a heavily fictionalized account of the life of one W.A. Mozart), has passed on at the age of 90:

"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
