    Cormac McCarthy
    “The truth is that the forms I see have been slowly emptied out. They no longer have any content. They are shapes only. A train, a wall, a world. Or a man.

    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

    Ally Condie
    “One night," Ky says, "doesn't seem like much to ask."
    I don't speak. He moves closer and I feel his cheek against mine and breathe in the scent of sage and pine, of old dust and fresh water and of him.
    "For one night, can we just think of each other? Not the Society or the Rising or even our families?"
    "No," I say.
    "No what?" He tangles one of his hands in my hair, the other draws me closer still.
    "No, I don't think we can," I say. "And no, it isn't too much to ask.”
    Ally Condie, Crossed
