Actually there is little acute hatred of Germany left in this country, and even less, I should expect to find, in the army of occupation. Only the minority of sadists, who must have their "atrocities" from one source or another, take a keen interest in the hunting-down of war criminals and quislings.

Additional quotes by George Orwell

The revolutionary atmosphere remained as I had first known it. General and private, peasant and militiaman, still met as equals; everyone drew the same pay, wore the same clothes, ate the same food, and called everyone else 'thou' and 'comrade'; there was no boss-class, no menial-class, no beggars, no prostitutes, no lawyers, no priests, no boot-licking, no cap-touching. I was breathing the air of equality, and I was simple enough to imagine that it existed all over Spain. I did not realize that more or less by chance I was isolated among the most revolutionary section of the Spanish working class.

أعتقد أن هناك أربع دوافع للكتاب:
1- حب الذات الصرف: الرغبة في أن تكون ذكيًا، أن يتم الحديث عنك، أن تُذكر بعد الموت، أن تنتقم من الكبار الذين وبخوك في طفولتك.
2- الحماس الجمالي: إدراك الجمال في العالم الخارجي، أو من ناحية أخرى في الكلمات وترتيبها الصحيح. البهجة من أثر صوت واحدٍ على الآخر. في تماسك النثر الجيد أو إيقاع قصة جيدة
3- الحافز التاريخي: الرغبة في رؤية الأشياء كما هي لإكتشاف حقائق صحيحة وحفظها من أجل استخدام الأجيال القادمة.
4- الهدف السياسي: الرغبة في دفع العالم في إتجاه معين لتغيير أفكار الآخرين حول نوع المجتمع الذي ينبغي عليهم السعي نحوه
