Orwell

1 The Swift that emerges from these pages is not the gloomy ogre described by the likes of Thackeray and Orwell.

2 “The feeling was like something out of Orwell,” Paul, one of the whistle-blowing scientists, says earnestly.

3 This is something that George Orwell noticed in the 1930s when he was in Germany.

4 All animals may be equal, to borrow from Orwell, but only because of their instrumental value to humans.

5 The cynical way in which Stalin had switched sides had come as no surprise to Orwell, who was by then accustomed to the dishonesty and cruelty of the Soviet regime.

6 Orwell's prescient tale of a totalitarian dystopia may seem to have little in common with Shakespeare's famous love story but, for me, the central love story is the same.

7 Orwell's novels are marked by their rich detailing of taste, touch and especially smell.

8 It is possible for an evil to be – in the words of George Orwell – “something too normal to be noticed”.

9 Many major figures get the better parts of their own chapters in “The Free World”: Hannah Arendt, George Orwell, Isaiah Berlin, James Baldwin.

10 Another good friend was Orwell, who had failed to win recognition with “Animal Farm” and was struggling to complete “Nineteen Eighty-Four” while terminally ill with tuberculosis.

11 As such, it addresses ideas better explored in classic works like Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," George Orwell's "1984" and Mike Judge's "Idiocracy."

12 Soon after senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Sunday that the administration was issuing “alternative facts,” Orwell’s classic novel spiked to No. 1 on Amazon.

13 Literature, from classics such as Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four to modern novels such as Michael Morpurgo's Shadow, can raise awareness of human rights issues.

14 It closes, ringing and goading, with Orwell’s exhortation when asked what moral should be drawn from “1984”: “Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”

15 A close reader of Orwell, he modeled that first essay and the book that grew out of it, “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” on Orwell’s “Down and Out in Paris and London.”

16 As a result of his dogged research, publishers had to withdraw incomplete, incorrect or obsolete earlier editions of Orwell’s works.

17 Two years after Edward Snowden gift-wrapped the greatest offering to prog-rock paranoiacs since Orwell, Muse’s reliance on reheated Cold War leftovers is baffling.

18 Yet Aesop and Orwell humanised animals as a device to tell moral tales.

19 To Big Brother and the Party, Orwell wrote, “the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.”

20 There are drawings by Orwell in “Diaries” of lathes, plows, drills, scythes, fishing nets, stirrups and charcoal braziers.
