Fiction Writing Quote by George Orwell: I Write Because There is Some Lie That I Want to Expose


"When I sit down to write a book, I do not say to myself, ‘I am going to produce a work of art.’ I write it because there is some lie that I want to expose, some fact to which I want to draw attention, and my initial concern is to get a hearing."
 
– George Orwell 

(25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950)

Eric Arthur Blair, known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Wikipedia
