More From George Orwell

Imperialism has now reached a degree of almost scientific perfection. it uses white workers to conquer the non-white workers of the colonies. then, it hurls the non-white workers of one colony against those of another non-white colony. finally, it relies on the colored workers of the colonies to rule the white workers. recently, white french soldiers near mutiny in the occupied ruhr of germany, were surrounded by french african soldiers, and colored native light-infantry were sent against white german strikers.
White Light Perfection
I buy a tractor two years ago, and four-fifths of the tractor manual is about not tipping over, not raising the bucket high enough to hit high-tension wire... not killing yourself, basically. and in that manual, i found out - and it cost me a thousand dollars - that when the tractor is new, 10 hours into use of the tractor, you have to re-torque the lug nuts. if you don't, you will oval the holes. this is buried between the moron warnings. i never found it. i take the tractor in for its regular servicing, and they say my wheels are gone. how am i supposed to know that? "it's in the manual."
Years Nuts Two
This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. the productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. on it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.
Class Giving People
One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.
Art Unique Stealing Things
Living in the now is freedom from all problems connected with time. you ought to remember that sentence, you ought to memorize it, and ought to take it out, you ought to practice it, you ought to apply it. and most of all, you ought to rejoice in it because you have just heard how not to be wretched, miserable you any more but to be a brand new, and forever brand new man or woman.
Men Practice Forever
Employers, have you ever stopped to reckon what the goodwill of your workers is worth? ... in most large concerns it would be worth more in dollars and cents to have the goodwill of the working force than of those on the outside. it has been repeatedly demonstrated that the average working force is capable of increasing its production 25% or more whenever the workers fell so inclined. workers animated by ill will cannot possibly give results equal to those of workers animated by goodwill. the tragic fact appears to be that a tremendous number of working forces are not so animated.
