Gathering Storm

'Vinnie gave Thompson the same arrogant smile that always drove his father past the point of rage. This was the smile that had first gotten him exiled the military school, and it seemed to work just as well on Thompson.'
“It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what."
― Stephen Fry (on censorship)
