WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/76157/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from Orwell</a><blockquote>   In the queerest way, pleasure and disgust are linked together. The human body is beautiful: it is also repulsive and ridiculous, a fact which can be verified at any swimming pool. The sexual organs are objects of desire and also of loathing, so much so that in many languages, if not in all languages, their names are used as words of abuse. Meat is delicious, but a butcher’s shop makes one feel sick: and indeed all our food springs ultimately from dung and dead bodies, the two things which of all others seem to us the most horrible. A child, when it is past the infantile stage but still looking at the world with fresh eyes, is moved by horror almost as often as by wonder – horror of snot and spittle, of the dogs’ excrement on the pavement, the dying toad full of maggots, the sweaty smell of grown-ups, the hideousness of old men, with their bald heads and bulbous noses.    In his endless harping on disease, dirt and deformity, Swift is not actually inventing anything, he is merely leaving something out.</blockquote>George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair] Essay (1946-09), “Politics vs. Literature: An Examination of Gulliver’s Travels,” Polemic, No. 5 Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/orwell-george/76157/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/orwell-george/76157/</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#qotd</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orwell</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=georgeorwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#georgeorwell</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=body" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#body</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=disgust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disgust</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horror</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=pleasure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pleasure</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=revulsion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#revulsion</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wonder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wonder</a>

Ernest LONDONAvec ce roman mélancolique, George Orwell réalise une comédie de mœurs, une satire de la classe moyenne et de la lâcheté ordinaire. Écrit après son expérience espagnole (voir Hommage à la Catalogne), on ne peut que comprendre son amertume vis-à-vis de l’indifférence ambiante face à la montée des totalitarismes.<a href="https://bibliothequefahrenheit.blogspot.com/2025/02/un-peu-dair-frais.html#more" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bibliothequefahrenheit.blogspot.com/2025/02/un-peu-dair-frais.html#more</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/roman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#roman</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orwell</a>

ThomasMore than 40 years ago I read 1984. I'm reading it now, and I can see that Orwell was off by maybe 30 years from the point of view of technology - but he hadn't seen the possibility of an automated Thought Police coming. I guess that by 2044 we may be at the point where reality surpasses fiction. This insight was quite shocking. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ai</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Orwell</a> #1984 #2044 <a href="https://mas.to/tags/authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authoritarianism</a>
