so I carry a natural dislike towards the penalizers of words.
Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.
Bertrand Russell Commandment 7 of "A Liberal Decalogue" , from "The Best Answer to Fanaticism: Liberalism," The New York Times (1951-12-16); later printed in The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell (1969), vol. 3: 1944-1967, pp. 71-2.
Every war is the result of a difference of opinion. Maybe the biggest questions can only be answered by the greatest of conflicts.

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
Thomas Jefferson letter to Francis Hopkinson (13 March 1789)
Iolanthe is a
comic opera with music by
Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by
W. S. Gilbert . First performed in 1882 as the seventh
Gilbert and Sullivan operatic collaboration, it tells the story of Iolanthe, a fairy banished from fairyland because she married a mortal. Her son Strephon, half a fairy, loves Phyllis, whom all the members of the House of Peers wish to marry. Phyllis sees Strephon embracing Iolanthe (as fairies never age, she appears to be seventeen) and assumes that he is unfaithful, not realizing that Iolanthe is his mother, setting off a climactic confrontation between the peers and the fairies. The opera satirises many aspects of British government, law and society.
Iolanthe was the first new theatre production in the world to be illuminated entirely by electric lights. It premiered at the
Savoy Theatre and ran there for 398 performances, with a simultaneous production in New York. It is still played throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. This poster by
H. M. Brock was produced for an early-20th-century tour production of
Iolanthe by the
D'Oyly Carte Opera Company .
