George Orwell Quotes

A Yorkshireman In The South Will Always Take Care To Let You Know That He Regards You As An Inferior. If You Ask Him Why, He Will Explain That It Is Only In The North That Life Is 'real' Life, That The Industrial Work Done In The North Is The Only 'real' Work, That The North Is Inhabited By 'real' People, The South Merely By Rentiers And Their Parasites. The Northerner Has 'grit', He Is Grim, 'dour', Plucky, Warm-hearted And Democratic; The Southerner Is Snobbish, Effeminate And Lazy - That At Any Rate Is The Theory. Hence The Southerner Goes North, At Any Rate For The First Time, With The Vague Inferiority-complex Of A Civilized Man Venturing Among Savages, While The Yorkshireman, Like The Scotchman, Comes To London In The Spirit Of A Barbarian Out For Loot.
