George Orwell
  • In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

  • In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.

  • On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.

  • The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.

  • In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
