Not Be Offended, Your Problem, Don't Like a Book, Read Another Book, Salman Rushdie

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.

"If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.

"I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.

"To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.” ― Salman Rushdie
