George Orwell

George Orwell
When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on.
George Orwell
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
George Orwell
You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one.
George Orwell

George Orwell
