George Orwell Quotes

To Sum Up. A Plongeur Is A Slave, And A Wasted Slave, Doing Stupid And Largely Unnecessary Work. He Is Kept At Work, Ultimately, Because Of A Vague Feeling That He Would Be Dangerous If He Had Leisure. And Educated People, Who Should Be On His Side, Acquiesce In The Process, Because They Know Nothing About Him And Consequently Are Afraid Of Him. I Say This Of The Plongeur Because It Is His Case I Have Been Considering; It Would Apply Equally To Numberless Other Types Of Worker. These Are Only My Own Ideas About The Basic Facts Of A Plongeur's Life, Made Without Reference To Immediate Economic Questions, And No Doubt Largely Platitudes. I Present Them As A Sample Of The Thoughts That Are Put Into One's Head By Working In A Hotel.
