Sam Levinson

It is just as much an offense to take offense as it is to give offense.

Ken Kesey

Prohibiting any words not approved of as 'politically correct' - that's not progressive. Putting 'trigger warnings' on books, movies, music, anything that might offend people - that's not progressive, either.
