“I am a degenerate modern semi-intellectual who would die if I did not get my early morning cup of tea and my New Statesman every Friday. Clearly I do not, in a sense, want to return to a simpler, harder, probably agricultural way of life. In the same sense I dont want to cut down on my drinking, to pay my debts, to take enough exercise, to be faithful to my wife, etc. etc. But in another and more permanent sense I do want these things, and perhaps in the same sense I want a civilization in which progress is not definable as making the world safe for little fat men.” George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier
