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

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.”
