A few from George Orwell -

George Orwell’s legacy is that the term Orwellian has come to describe a situation, idea, or societal condition identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. Though it is ironic in itself because Orwell fought constantly against such deceit.

He is best known for his work, Animal Farm and his dystopian novel ‘1984‘, which were considered the true masters of doublespeak.

The former is a political fable set in a farmyard but based on Stalin’s betrayal of the Russian Revolution. This prose made Orwell’s name and ensured he was financially comfortable for the first time in his life.

On the other hand, the latter is filled with deep meanings and uses many doublespeak phrases – such as ‘Big Brother is watching you’, ‘newspeak’ and ‘doublethink’.

Orwell also tackled issues such as benevolent dictators, the right of police to gun down citizens, the journalists’ safety, and the idea that employers deserve more influence than workers.

"Complexity is the prodigy of the world. Simplicity is the sensation of the universe. Behind complexity, there is always simplicity to be revealed. Inside simplicity, there is always complexity to be discovered."

— Gang Yu

"Even a wise experiment when made by a fool generally leads to a false conclusion, but that fools’ experiments conducted by a genius often prove to be leaps through the dark into great discoveries."

— Sir Edwin Ray Lankester
