In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act... - George Orwell
"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand."
"If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them."
"At 50, everyone has the face he deserves."
"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it."
"All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand."
