  1. A quotation from Orwell

    But what impressed me then, and has impressed me ever since, is that atrocities are believed in or disbelieved in solely on grounds of political predilection. Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those of his own side, without ever bothering to examine the evidence.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 2, New Road (1943-06)
