Wendell Berry

The idea that people can be improved by being offended will finally have to meet the idea (espoused some of the time by some of the same people) that books, popular songs, movies, television shows, sex videos, and so on are “just fiction” or “just art” and therefore exist “for their own sake” and have no influence. To argue that works of art are “only” fictions or self-expressions and therefore cannot cause bad behavior is to argue also that they cannot cause good behavior. It is, moreover, to make an absolute division between art and life, experience and life, mind and body – a division that is intolerable to anyone who is at all serious about being a human or a member of a community or even a citizen.
