"Just finished this extremely moving book about how Fascism in Greece so badly hurt a family over the decades. Stalinism doesn't come out too well in the story either." — Jan 01, 2021 01:35PM

Lizzy’s Quotes

“I have no particular love for the idealized “worker” as he appears in the bourgeois Communist’s mind, but when I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.”
― George Orwell, Homage To Catalonia / Down And Out In Paris And London

“For it was Saturday night, the best and bingiest glad-time of the week, one of the fifty-two holidays in the slow-turning Big Wheel of the year, a violent preamble to a prostrate Sabbath. Piled up passions were exploded on Saturday night, and the effect of a week's monotonous graft in the factory was swilled out of your system in a burst of goodwill. You followed the motto of 'be drunk and be happy,' kept your crafty arms around female waists, and felt the beer going beneficially down into the elastic capacity of your guts.”
― Alan Sillitoe, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
