George Orwell

George Orwell
Image
To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available.

Freedom of the Press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticize and oppose
George Orwell
Image
On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.
George Orwell
