George Orwell

George Orwell
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.
George Orwell
Roughly speaking, the more one pays for food, the more sweat and spittle one is obliged to eat with it.... Dirtiness is inherent in hotels and restaurants, because sound food is sacrificed to punctuality and smartness.
George Orwell
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George Orwell
