John Stuart Mill's views expressed in his book On Liberty and F. Nietzsche - Need feedback and clarification

I need a short (1/2-1 page) response that answers the following questions: What objection would Nietzsche raise to Mill's notion of individuality? Why would he have an objection? This is concerning the views of Mill expressed in his book, On Liberty. Is it because Mill says that wheather an view or belief is right or wrong is still must never be silenced because society benefits from dissent? Which makes all views equal, while Nietzsche said that the opinions/beliefs of the people that were more intelligent/valuable to society were worth more, thereby equating knowledge with power. I know very little of Nietzsche. Thank you! ... click for more

Who said this? Was it John Stuart Mill?

I am writing a paper on J.S. Mill's On Liberty. I cannot locate the following quote anywhere in his text: "Is the encouragement of individuality, and with it the expansion of human happiness, best accomplished by an absolute prohibition against all social interference in the inner sphere of each person's life?" My guess is this is not Mill's quote at all. Please tell me if it is indeed Mill and where it is in the book! This is driving me mad. Several other students also cannot find the quote. If it is NOT Mill, can you tell me who said it? If not, that's ok, I really just need to know if Mill said it or not in On Liberty. Thank you!!
