Arthur Koestler Quotes

Generally Speaking, Words Like 'agent Of,' 'Democracy,' 'Freedom,' Etc. Meant Something Quite Different In Party Usage From What They Meant In General Usage; And As, Furthermore, Even Their Party Meaning Changed With Each Shift Of The Line, Our Polemical Methods Became Rather Like The Croquet Game Of The Queen Of Hearts, In Which The Hoops Moved About The Field And The Balls Were Live Hedgehogs. With This Difference, That When A Player Missed His Turn And The Queen Shouted 'Off With His Head,' The Order Was Executed In Earnest. To Survive, We All Had To Become Virtuosos Of Wonderland Croquet.
