Mr Orwell

Famous quotes containing the word orwell:

    The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    The “Communism” of the English intellectual is something explicable enough. It is the patriotism of the deracinated.
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
