Quote by George Orwell

“Yirmi yıllık duraklama ve işsizliğin ardından, bütün İngiliz sosyalist hareketi, halk kitlelerinin arzulanabilir bulacağı bir sosyalizm versiyonu üretmekten bile acizdi. İşçi partisi ürkek bir reformizmi savunuyordu, Marksistler modern dünyaya on dokuzuncu yüzyıldan kalma gözlükleriyle bakıyorlardı. Her ikisi de, tarımı ve emperyal sorunları görmezden geliyor ve orta sınıfları karşılarına alıyordu. Sol propagandanın boğucu aptallığı, fabrika müdürlerinden pilotlara, donanma subaylarından çiftçilere, beyaz yakalılardan esnaflara ve polislere, gerekli olan insanlardan oluşan sınıfları bütünüyle korkutup kaçırmıştı. Bütün bu insanlara sosyalizmi rızklarını tehdit eden ya da kışkırtıcı, yabancı, onların vereceği isimle "Britanya karşıtı" bir şey olarak görmeleri öğretilmişti. Yalnızca orta sınıfın en yararsız kesimi olan entelektüeller harekete yöneldiler.”

“Was it possible, she wondered, to have solitude together? She tried to imagine what he would do if after dinner she went to his study back home with her book or her laptop, and sat on the couch there instead of in the living room as they had in the early years. He might glance over the top of his computer with a look of surprise and then a smile of welcome. Hey there. Or there might be a moment's hesitation. She'd sit quietly nearby, each of them feeling the weight of the other int he room and a dampening of his or her own thoughts, each looking up expectantly when the other shifted in a chair or looked off into the middle distance. She might offer a snippet of commentary about something she was reading, but it would not be easily understood out of context. After an hour or so she would stand and stretch, murmur that sh though she'd call it a night, and the following night she'd go back to the living room. It was a gift, solitude. But solitude with another person, that was an art.”

“Stay away from my sister." "Or what, General?" Odda asked, her smile smug. "What can you do to a Kyv-" The witch's words were cut off and Izzy stumbled back into her mother as a white claw slammed into the ground, smashing the witch into the earth. Izzy looked up at the dragoness standing over her. Her grandmother smiled. "What did I miss? I sensed I was missing something!" Rhiannon looked down at her claws. "Did I step in something? I feel like I stepped in something.”
