“Baharı getirmesi beklenirken Ankara’da her zaman soğuk geçen mart ayı, gerçekte sadece bir misafirdi. Bu şehirde benden başka bu kadar iyi yalan söyleyebilen bir şey varsa o da mart ayıydı. Onunla alıp veremediğim buydu. Zamanında okurken bir şekilde ufkumuzu genişlettiğine şaşırdığım bir yazıda bahsedilen “utangaç bok” gibiydi güneş bu dönemde. Uzun bir bekleyişten sonra çıkacak gibi olur, başını uzatır, ama evdeki misafirlerden biri tuvaletin önünden geçtiğinde ses çıkarırım diye utanıp hemen geri kaçardı.”

“As he once wrote of Kipling, his own enduring influence can be measured by a number of terms and phrases—doublethink, thought police, 'Some animals are more equal than others'—that he embedded in our language and in our minds. In Orwell's own mind there was an inextricable connection between language and truth, a conviction that by using plain and unambiguous words one could forbid oneself the comfort of certain falsehoods and delusions. Every time you hear a piece of psychobabble or propaganda—'people's princess,' say, or 'collateral damage,' or 'peace initiative'—it is good to have a well-thumbed collection of his essays nearby. His main enemy in discourse was euphemism, just as his main enemy in practice was the abuse of power, and (more important) the slavish willingness of people to submit to it.”
