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.

Kontextus: Anyone who cares to examine my work will see that even when it is downright propaganda it contains much that a full-time politician would consider irrelevant. I am not able, and do not want, completely to abandon the world view that I acquired in childhood. So long as I remain alive and well I shall continue to feel strongly about prose style, to love the surface of the Earth, and to take pleasure in solid objects and scraps of useless information. It is no use trying to suppress that side of myself. The job is to reconcile my ingrained likes and dislikes with the essentially public, non-individual activities that this age forces on all of us.
It is not easy. It raises problems of construction and of language, and it raises in a new way the problem of truthfulness.
“The stars are a free show; it don’t cost anything to use your eyes”
