"He drove his mind into the abyss..." - Quote by George Orwell

“Roughly speaking, the more one pays for food, the more sweat and spittle one is obliged to eat with it.... Dirtiness is inherent in hotels and restaurants, because sound food is sacrificed to punctuality and smartness.”

“Your worst enemy, he reflected, was your nervous system. At any moment the tension inside you was liable to translate itself into some visible symptom.”

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”

“You can't have creativity unless you leave behind the bounded, the fixed, all the rules”

“I did try very hard to tell the whole truth without violating my literary instincts.”

“If I could say this I wouldn't have to paint.”

“I hope to leave behind a few poems it will be hard to get rid of.”

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

“Poetry gave me back my voice.”
