You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind,

a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination.

That's the signpost up ahead. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone.

The... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight, I shall talk to you about glorious conformity, about the delight and the ultimate pleasure of our unified society.

You recall, of course, that directionless, unproductive, over-sentimentalized era of man's history

when it was assumed that descent was some kind of natural and healthy adjunct of society.

We also recall that during this period of time there was a strange over-sentimentalized concept that it mattered,

not that people were different, that ideas were at variance with one another, that a world could exist in some

kind of crazy patchware kind of makeup with foreign elements glued together in a crazy quilt.

I say to you now, I say to you now, there is no such thing as a permissive society because such a society cannot exist.

They will scream at you and rant and rave and conjure up some dead and decadent picture

of an ancient time when they said all men are created equal.

in the episode that we're going to be discussing tonight.

But I'll begin by doing a little bit of digging

that gave this episode its title.

called phrases.org and it gives the meaning as the perception of beauty is subjective.

Of course that makes sense and then it gives the origin.
