No one has the right to live without being shocked.
No one has the right to spend their life without being offended.
Nobody has to read this book.
Nobody has to pick it up.
Nobody has to open it.
And if they open it and read it, they don't have to like it.
And if you read it and you dislike it you don't have to remain silent about it.
You can write to me, you can complain about it, you can write to the publisher.
You can write to the papers, you can write your own book.
You can do all those things, but there your rights stop.
No one has the right to stop me writing this book.
No one has the right to stop it being published, or sold, or bought, or read.
And that's all I have to say on that subject.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
