Orwell
"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it."
If you like George, you may want to stay away from the Biography and simply focus on the works. His bio makes you kind of sad and sort of downplays his works in the light of his personal life. I always read the bio's of the books I read but somehow I found this one to be really disturbing. The best one I ever read was easily Aldous. I love this quote though.
