Additional quotes by George Orwell
The state will cease to govern and will survive merely as an agency for the distribution of necessary commodities. All disagreeable jobs will be done by machinery, and everyone will be completely free to choose his own work and his own manner of life. In effect, the world will be populated by artists, each striving after perfection in the way that seems best to him.
