Happy Birthday George Orwell



George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair and, although he died in 1950, his works are still relevant.

He had great insight and vision.

Granny Annie: Hear, hear. *clink*

Messymimi: Yes, he did have insight and vision. It's such a shame that he only lived to be 47 years old. Imagine what more he could have given the world had he lived longer.

Orwell's thoughts are All you need to know about the future.

Ed Bonderenka: You'll get a slice just as soon as I get a slice. We must be patient.

cube said...

Kid: I hear you. In my eyes, Orwell was a prophet.

1984 is alive and well in 2017 George! I love your work, it was spot on!

Snaggletooth: We lost him too soon. God only knows what else he could have written.
