“… we sell our souls in public and buy them back in private, among our friends.”
I genuinely hate every character in this book so far but it’s Orwell dropping lines like this that makes it worthwhile.

“He had no prejudice against Orientals; indeed, he was deeply fond of them. Provided they were given no freedom he thought them the most charming people alive.”

So far I’m learning new kinds of racism I didn’t even know were a thing. (Orwell is critical of it.)
