"The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one : Don't let it happen. It depends on you." - George Orwell / Fredric Warburg, "Statement on 'Nineteen Eighty-Four'" (June 1949)
"Found the P.M. absorbed in George Orwell's book, 1984. ‘Have you read it, Charles? Oh, you must. I'm reading it for a second time. It is a very remarkable book.’" - diary for 19 February 1953, in Lord Moran, "Winston Churchill: The Struggle for Survival 1940-1965" (Sphere, 1968), p. 423.
