nos, akkor soha nem történt meg. Ha azt mondja kettő meg kettő az öt – akkor kettő meg kettő az öt. Egy ilyen jövő lehetősége rémisztőbb számomra a bombáknál is.

. . . It is Germany that is moving towards Russia, rather than the other way about. It is therefore nonsense to talk about Germany ‘going Bolshevik’ if Hitler falls. Germany is going Bolshevik because of Hitler and not in spite of him.

Perhaps the fundamental difference is that beneath a tropical sun individuality seems less distinct and the loss of it less important.

From a review of Malcolm Muggeridge's The Thirties, in New English Weekly (25 April 1940)
Kontextus: It is all very well to be "advanced" and "enlightened," to snigger at Colonel Blimp and proclaim your emancipation from all traditional loyalties, but a time comes when the sand of the desert is sodden red and what have I done for thee, England, my England? As I was brought up in this tradition myself I can recognise it under strange disguises, and also sympathise with it, for even at its stupidest and most sentimental it is a comelier thing than the shallow self-righteousness of the left-wing intelligentsia.

Attributed to Orwell by John H. Bunzel, president of San Jose State University, as reported in Phyllis Schlafly, The Power of the Positive Woman (1977), p. 151; but not found in Orwell's works or in reports contemporaneous with his life. Possibly a paraphrase of Orwell's description of the rationale behind Newspeak in 1984.
