When I talk to anyone or read the writings of anyone who has any axe to grind, I feel that intellectual honesty and balanced judgement have simply disappeared from the face of the earth. Everyone’s thought is forensic, everyone is simply putting a “case” with deliberate suppression of his opponent’s point of view, and, what is more, with complete insensitiveness to any sufferings except those of himself and his friends.

إن ألد أعدائك هو جهازك العصبي، وما يعتمل في نفسك من توتر قد يورّطك في عمل لا تحمد عقباه.
George OrwellThe heirs of the French, English, and American revolutions had partly believed in their own phrases about the rights of man, freedom of speech, equality before the law, and the like, and have even allowed their conduct to be influenced by them to some extent. But by the fourth decade of the twentieth century all the main currents of political thought were authoritarian. The earthly paradise had been discredited at exactly the moment when it became realizable. Every new political theory, by whatever name it called itself, led back to hierarchy and regimentation. And in the general hardening of outlook that set in round about 1930, practices which had been long abandoned, in some cases for hundreds of years — imprisonment without trial, the use of war prisoners as slaves, public executions, torture to extract confessions, the use of hostages, and the deportation of whole populations — not only became common again, but were tolerated and even defended by people who considered themselves enlightened and progressive.
George Orwella type hated with equal hatred by all the smelly little orthodoxies which are now contending for our souls.

George Orwell* *Do remember that dishonesty and cowardice always have to be paid for.*Don’t imagine that for years on end you can make yourself the boot-licking propagandist of the Soviet régime, or any other régime, and then suddenly return to mental decency. Once a whore, always a whore.

For whom, for what, was that bird singing? No mate, no rival was watching it. What made it sit at the edge of the lonely wood and pour its music into nothingness?

George OrwellEra uno de esos ensueños que, a pesar de utilizar toda la escenografía onírica habitual, son una continuación de nuestra vida intelectual y en los que nos damos cuenta de hechos e ideas que siguen teniendo un valor después del despertar.
George Orwellفي ميدان القتال أو في غرفة التعذيب أو على متن سفينة تغرق، تغدو القضايا التي تحارب من أجلها طي النسيان دائما، ذلك أن جسدك يظل يتضخم حتى يملأ عليك العالم فلا ترى سواه .
وحتى إذا لم يشل الرعب حركتك أو لم يجعلك الألم تصرخ، فإن الحياة تظل صراعاً موصولاً ضد الجوع والبرد والقلق أو ضد الحموضة وحرقة المعدة أو ألم الأسنان.
