More quotes by George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
A sahib has got to act like a sahib he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things.
George Orwell
I know it is the fashion to say that most of recorded history is lies anyway. I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.
George Orwell
Cricket is a game full or forlorn hopes and sudden dramatic changes of fortune and its rules are so ill-defined that their interpretation is partly an ethical business.
George Orwell
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
George Orwell
Gordon eyed them with inert hatred. At this moment he hated all books, and novels most of all. Horrible to think of all that soggy, half-baked trash massed together in one place.
George Orwell
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
George Orwell
From the totalitarian point of view, history is something to be created rather than learned.
George Orwell
Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.
George Orwell
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
George Orwell
If I had understood the situation a bit better I should probably have joined the Anarchists.
George Orwell
What is not hereditary cannot be permanent.
George Orwell
By revolution we become more ourselves, not less.
George Orwell
In Moulmein, in lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people - the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me.
George Orwell
I have no wish to take life, not even human life
George Orwell
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
George Orwell
A dirty joke is not, of course, a serious attack on morality, but it is a sort of mental rebellion, a momentary wish that things were otherwise.
George Orwell
The idea really came to me the day I got my new false teeth.
George Orwell
He was conscious of nothing except the blankness of the page in front of him, the itching of the skin above his ankle, the blaring of the music, and a slight booziness caused by the gin.
George Orwell
Writing a novel is agony.
George Orwell
