As To a Lifebelt

 The fact to which we have got to cling, as to a lifebelt, is that it is possible to be a normal decent person and yet to be fully alive.

I believe that should be Allen Ginsberg and not George Orwell.

I think the Orwell quote was once used against Ginsberg: https://www.nationalreview.com/2005/10/family-man-jeffrey-hart-2/

The original quote came from a line in a review that Orwell wrote of a novel.
