Dail Dose

From George Orwell Diaries, edited by Peter Davison

ORWELL'S NEED TO KNOW

"This need to know things at the level of basic experience, and the reluctance to be fobbed off by the official story or the popular rumor, was a part of the 'infinite capacity for taking pains' that somebody once described as the constituent of genius."

From The Introduction, by Christopher Hitchens
