I am a "liberal" but I've got a big mouth that runs faster than my inhibitions,
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.
JC Denton , Deus Ex
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)
Machado de Assis (1839–1908) was a Brazilian novelist, poet, playwright and short-story writer, widely regarded as the greatest writer of
Brazilian literature . In 1897, he founded and became the first president of the
Brazilian Academy of Letters . He was
multilingual , having taught himself
French ,
English ,
German and
Greek later in life. Machado's work shaped the realist movement in Brazil and the birth of the Brazilian republic made Machado become more critical and an observer of the Brazilian society of his time. Generally considered to be Machado's greatest works are
Dom Casmurro (1899),
Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (
Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas , also translated as
Epitaph of a Small Winner ) and
Quincas Borba (also known in English as
Philosopher or Dog? ). In 1893, he published "A Missa do Galo" ("Midnight Mass"), often considered to be the greatest short story in Brazilian literature. This photograph of Machado was taken by the Brazilian photographer
Marc Ferrez in 1890.
