Where do your rights end?

"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 you open it and read it, you 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 it being published, or bought, or sold or read."  
- Philip Pullman
