GEORGE ORWELL

(25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950)

Eric Arthur Blair, popularly known by his pen name George Orwell was an English author and journalist. Born in Motihari, Bengal Presidency (present-day Bihar), in British India, Orwell's works are always remembered for his stand against social injustice written in a witty and intelligent style. For his contribution as a journalist, poet, fiction writer and literary critic Orwell is deemed to be the best chronicler of English culture of the twentieth century. His dystopian novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and the satire "Animal Farm" (1945) were sold together more copies than any two books by any other twentieth-century author.

"IN A TIME OF
UNIVERSAL
DECEIT- TELLING
THE TRUTH IS A
REVOLUTIONARY ACT.

Man is the only creature
that consumes without
producing. He does not
give milk, he does not lay
eggs, he is too weak to
pull the plough, he
cannot run fast enough
to catch rabbits. Yet he
is lord of all the animals.

DOUBLETHINK MEANS THE POWER OF
HOLDING TWO CONTRADICTORY BELIEFS
IN ONE'S MIND SIMULTANEOUSLY
AND ACCEPTING BOTH OF THEM. "
