the source of a quote attributed to Orwell

Hello Kalki, I've seen you've contributed the variations on Orwell's quote "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." ([1]) Could you please indicate the source for the original attribution? Regards, Itayb 14:55, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

The variants I added were probably found in a search for an original source, but as with many quotes, thus far no original sources or even citations of original sources have been found, though many of these phrases or slight variants of them are widely quoted. Had I found a source I would have provided it, and moved it out of the "unsourced" section. Web searches I just did indicate that there are many more secondary sources that could be found now, but no citations of original sources leap to my attention in a quick scanning of them. ~ Kalki 16:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
