George Orwell
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it
At 50, everyone has the face he deserves
Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing
