George Orwell
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.
George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell
He would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies.
George Orwell
There is no test of literary merit except survival, which is itself an index to majority opinion.
George Orwell
The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.
George Orwell
