"I had an overwhelming desire to get away from it all. Away from the horrible atmosphere of political suspicion and hatred, from streets thronged by armed men, from air-raids, trenches, machine-guns, screaming trams, milkless tea, oil cookery, and shortage of cigarettes, from almost everything that I had learnt to associate with Spain". ("Homage to Catalonia", George Orwell, 1938 [2021]: 117)

!["En aquelles conferències i col·loquis es parlava gairebé sempre d'Espanya. Per primera vegada vaig sentir paraules no triomfalistes entre gent amiga. Ja eren nombrosos els qui donaven per perduda la República Espanyola. Ho atribuïen a la no-intervenció, a la política de concessions a Hitler per part d'Anglaterra i França, però ja no confiaven en la nostra victòria".
