Legend of Perceval

Inspired by the Tales of King Arthur, Viggo Mortensen [born 1958] calls his book publishing company Perceval Press; one should find one's own path through the forest. However, in an early version of the legend, Perceval fails to ask a simple question which kills a King and blows his chance at finding the Holy Grail. 

Henry David Thoreau's reference to finding one's own path here.
