“Orwell was dealing with communism and his disillusionment with communism in Russia and what he saw the communists do in Spain. His novel was a response to those political situations.

I could see the coming event of schoolteachers not teaching reading anymore. The less they taught, the more you wouldn't need books.”

“He that is to govern a whole Nation , must read in himself, not this, or that particular man; but Mankind; which though it be hard to do, harder than to learn any Language, or Science; yet, when I shall have set down my own reading orderly, and perspicuously, the pains left another, will be only to consider, if he also find not the same in himself.

Even though I think it's bad, I think it's interesting too, because that's the way my brain works.”
