George Orwell
The cheaper books become, the less money is spent on books.
George Orwell
It was given out that the animals there practised cannibalism, tortured one another with red-hot horseshoes, and had their females in common. This was what came of rebelling against the laws of Nature, Frederick and Pilkington said.
George Orwell
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell

George Orwell
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George Orwell
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
George Orwell

George Orwell
By revolution we become more ourselves, not less.
George Orwell
His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” —which he had adopted as his personal motto.
George Orwell
It said what he would have said, if it had been possible for him to set his scattered thoughts in order. It was the product of a mind similar to his own, but enormously more powerful, more systematic, less fear-ridden. The best books, he perceived, are those that tell you what you know already.
George Orwell
The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism.
George Orwell
You're only a rebel from the waist downwards,' he told her.
George Orwell
To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.
George Orwell
Truth becomes untruth if uttered by your enemy
George Orwell
He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
George Orwell
The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.
George Orwell
Good writing is like a windowpane.
George Orwell
As a rule they will refuse even to sample a foreign dish, they regard such things as garlic and olive oil with disgust, life is unliveable to them unless they have tea and puddings.
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
