Diogenes: Yes

Diogenes - the only honest man in ancient Greece and a founder of the cynics - lived in a wine barrel.
He'd turn his pitcher to face the sun.
Alexander - of Alexander The Great and king of the known world fame - went to meet him.
He asked the D if he had any desires.
Diogenes told him; "Yes. For you to get out of my fucking sun."

"I have left society, because I cannot endure the evils I see and detest in it."
