George Orwell Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: June 25, 1903 - January 21, 1950
Birthday: June 25
Death: January 21
I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.
