The following recent article says that G.O. used this expression.

But in which of G.O.'s works is it mentioned?:

Not sure that it is. Possibly the author of the article is
paraphrasing.

I like the phrase "fog of orthodoxy", although I don't know if Orwell
said it. From the context, it might be a mash-up of "To see what is
in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle" (Tribune, 22 March
1946) and another quote...?
