WHERETOGOLAND
You’re obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd.<br />
You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you<br />
despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction<br />
between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain<br />
pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced.<br />
In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because<br />
at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of<br />
your powers. That’s the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world.<br />
~Octave Mirbeau, Torture Garden, “The Mission,” Chapter 8
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on the human<br />
face - forever.<br />
~George Orwell
