George Orwell
“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
George Orwell

Kingsley Amis
“It was a perfect title, in that it crystallized the article's niggling mindlessness, its funeral parade of yawn-enforcing facts, the pseudo-light it threw upon non-problems.”
Kingsley Amis

Kingsley Amis
“{Rogers} sexual aim is “to convert a creature who is cool, dry, calm, articulate, independent, purposeful into a creature who is the opposite of these: to demonstrate to an animal which is pretending not to be an animal that it is an animal.”
Kingsley Amis, One Fat Englishman
tags: humor

Margaret Mitchell
“I told you once before that there were two times for making big money, one in the up-building of a country and the other in its destruction. Slow money on the up-building, fast money in the crack-up. Remember my words. Perhaps they may be of use to you some day. (Rhett Butler)”
Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

George Orwell
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
George Orwell
