It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it.
George OrwellI suppose there is no place in the world where snobbery is quite so ever-present or where it is cultivated in such refined and subtle forms as in an English public school. Here at least one cannot say that English โeducationโ fails to do its job. You forget your Latin and Greek within a few months of leaving school โ I studied Greek for eight or ten years, and now, at thirty-three, I cannot even repeat the Greek alphabet โ but your snobbishness, unless you persistently root it out like the bindweed it is, sticks by you till your grave.
George OrwellEvery line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism as I understand it.
