QUERY: RE THE AUTHORITARIAN'S FAVORITE ORWELL QUOTE
"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Often this is given as "Good people..."
I have been unable to source this back to a specific piece of GO's prose. Have encountered the opinion that it is not an actual GO quotation.
Can anyone help? Thanks.
