"She owes money all over town, to known pornographers, and that's cool...that's cool..."

Now for some George Orwell Quotes to Brighten your day.

"No doubt alcohol, tobacco, and so forth, are things that a saint must avoid, but sainthood is also a thing that human beings must avoid.... Many people genuinely do not wish to be saints, and it is probable that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings."

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."

"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."

"Political language ... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."

And my personal favorite, one that Bush really needs to read and understand:

"One defeats a fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence."

Like that is ever going to happen with this administration.
