- possibleworlds 9mo agoYou are right. A Google search for the quote, with or without the em dash, brings up nothing. It is not even misattributed.
- purplehat_ 9mo agoThanks for linking to the essay. I just read it and really enjoyed it. I think I'll try to put the ideas into practice in my writing (and hope I'll succeed).
- chvgchvg 9mo agoSorry I tried adding a click link onto the text but I failed miserably lol. I am new to substack I apologize! I find Orwell's English essay one of my favorites.
- jmdc 9mo agoBut is it actually an Orwell Quote? I am not trying to call you out - I am actually curious. Please share a source.
