George Orwell
“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.”
George Orwell, 1984

Margaret Atwood
“Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.”
Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride

George Orwell
“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.”
George Orwell, 1984

Debasish Mridha
“Getting an education might be difficult, but it makes life easy. Being uneducated might be easy, but it makes life difficult.”
Debasish Mridha

George Orwell
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
George Orwell, 1984
