on Saturday, February 4, 2023Meaning of George Orwell Money Quote: saying an unemployed person may need work more than money. George Orwell said:

Short Link to this Quote:
Orwell is saying that for many people, especially those who are used to working, having a job is more important than just receiving money or wages. Even if an unemployed person is getting some financial support, they may still feel unfulfilled and lack purpose without meaningful work to do.
Orwell suggests that the structure, social interaction, and sense of contribution that often comes from employment can be as vital psychologically as the money itself. So while losing wages is difficult, losing the work itself and the habits that come with it may be an even greater challenge for some unemployed individuals.
George Orwell: Poverty Frees
on Thursday, October 20, 2022Meaning of George Orwell Money Quote: saying being poor frees one from normal expectations, like money frees from working. George Orwell said:
“Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work” — George Orwell

Short Link to this Quote:
Orwell is comparing how poverty and money can both free people from certain social expectations or obligations. He’s saying that being poor frees people from the need to follow ordinary social standards of behavior because they are focused on basic survival instead. Similarly, having money frees people from the need to work in order to support themselves financially.
So both poverty and wealth allow people a kind of freedom from conventions or responsibilities that most people in society face. Orwell is highlighting how extremes of lack of resources or abundance of resources can both remove people from typical social constraints in their own ways.
