“Envy is a horrible thing. It is unlike all other kinds of suffering in that there is no disguising it, no elevating it into tragedy. It is more than merely painful, it is disgusting.”
― George Orwell, Burmese Days

“it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it.”
― George Orwell , Burmese Days

“It is devilish to suffer from a pain that is all but nameless. Blessed are they who are stricken only with classifiable diseases! Blessed are the poor, the sick, the crossed in love, for at least other people know what is the matter with them and will listen to their belly-achings with sympathy. But who that has not suffered it understands the pains of exile?”
― George Orwell, Burmese Days
