George Orwell
“...one ought to recognize that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring some improvement by starting at the verbal end....Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
-- 'Politics and the English Language,' 1946”
George Orwell

George Orwell
“Winston kept his back turned to the telescreen. It was safer, though, as he well knew, even a back can be revealing.”
George Orwell, 1984
