The Ostrovsky quote is definitely real. It’s his most famous quote, at least that I’ve seen.

I’m similarly pretty unwilling to put the Orwell one in my search history, though his name with “sandalwood flower” turned up one of the most “how many male novelists does it take to screw in a light bulb?” book chapters that I’ve seen in a long time. [cw: racism, sexual exploitation]

Probably a fake quote that shouldn’t have been posted though. Even if it was real, the source for both quotes should be mentioned, so it’s just a bad meme.
