Quote by George Orwell
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
Summary
This quote suggests that society often expects people to go above and beyond their capabilities or what is realistically achievable. Despite these high expectations, society is often disappointed when individuals are unable to meet them. It highlights the discrepancy between society's demands and the limitations of human potential. It also implies that there is an inherent gap between the ideal standards society sets and the practical outcomes that can be realistically achieved.
