“كانت قراءة الروايات فى تلك السنة هي التعليم الحقيقي الذي حصلته
لقد فعلت الكتب فعلها الكبير في عقلي وصار لي موقف ورأي استفهامي
لم أكن أحصل عليه لو تابعت حياتي بالطريقة العادية الحسية
واسأل إن كنت قد أدركت الشئ الذي غيرني حقيقة وأثر عليا فعلياً
لم تكن الكتب التي قرأتها
بقدر ما كانت الحياة التافهة المتعفنة التي كنت أحياها
لقد كانت بلا معني”
― جورج أورويل, Coming up for Air
