“Politics and the English Language”
“...to think clearly is a necessary firs step towards political regeneration...In real life it is always the anvil that breaks the hammer...political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible...there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia...political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
