Future Quote by George Orwell
““Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him, or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless.””
About This Quote
If the future mirrors the present, it ignores his voice; if it differs, his struggle becomes irrelevant.

Seek change that gives purpose to struggle.
