Never, for any reason on earth, could you wish for an increase in pain. Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop.
George OrwellMen use up their lives in heart-breaking political struggles, or get themselves killed in civil wars, or tortured in the secret prisons of the Gestapo, not in order to establish some central-heated, air-conditioned, strip-lighted Paradise, but because they want a world in which human beings love one another instead of swindling and murdering one another.
George OrwellEvery war, when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.
