Hobbies: Not scratching itches. I like to sit there and feel really uncomfortable and itchy, but never scratch it. I love that so much that I never want to die.

“People dislike one thing and want to express solidarity with another, but they are not interested in the detail of what they are saying. You can shirk it by simply throwing your mind open and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. They will construct your sentences for you, even think your thoughts for you to a certain extent and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself. It is at this point that the special connection between politics and debasement of language becomes clear”.
George Orwell, “Politics and the English language”
