"世界称为不道德的书籍是那些揭示世界自身耻辱的书籍。"
— Oscar Wilde

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, people label certain books as bad or wrong because these books tell uncomfortable truths. These stories often reveal the negative or embarrassing aspects of society that people don't like to think about. For example, a book highlighting serious issues like racism or corruption might be deemed immoral because it forces readers to confront the unpleasant reality of these problems. Just like a mirror reflecting our faults, such books make us see things we try to ignore. Instead of shunning these books, we can read them to understand and hopefully fix these issues. By doing so, we learn to create a better, more honest world.
