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
