“Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable fashion must excite your
languid spleen,

—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“The great challenge which faces us is to assure that, in our society of big-ness, we do not strangle the voice of creativity, that the rules of the game do not come to overshadow its purpose, that the grand orchestration of society leaves ample room for the man who marches to the music of another drummer.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
