George Orwell Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: June 25, 1903 - January 21, 1950
Birthday: June 25
Death: January 21
The mistake you make, don't you see,is in thinking one can live in a corrupt society without being corrupt oneself. After all, what do you achieve by refusing to make money? You're trying to behave as though one could stand right outside our economic system. But one can't. One's got to change the system, or one changes nothing. One can't put things right in a hole-and-corner way, if you take my meaning.
