George Orwell
“There were things, your own acts, from which you could never recover. Something was killed in your breast: burnt out, cauterized out.”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“A plongeur is a slave, and a wasted slave, doing stupid and largely unnecessary work. He is kept at work, ultimately, because of a vague feeling that he would be dangerous if he had leisure. And educated people, who should be on his side, acquiesce in the process, because they know nothing about him and consequently are afraid of him.”
George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London
