More quotes by George Orwell
To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!
George Orwell
Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.
George Orwell
Napoleon is always right.
George Orwell
. . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it.
George Orwell
It was intended that when Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought...should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought is dependent on words.
George Orwell
The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.
George Orwell
In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible... Thus, political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging, and sheer cloudy vagueness... Political language [is] designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.
George Orwell
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
George Orwell
International football is the continuation of war by other means.
George Orwell
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell
It is one of the tragedies of the half-educated that they develop late, when they are already committed to some wrong way of life.
George Orwell
Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.
George Orwell
At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.
George Orwell
The Puritanical nonsense of excluding children and therefore to some extent women from pubs has turned these places into mere boozing shops instead of the family gathering places that they ought to be.
George Orwell
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
George Orwell
Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other.
George Orwell
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
George Orwell
Four legs gooood, two legs baaad!
George Orwell
