More quotes by George Orwell
No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.
George Orwell
Myths which are believed in tend to become true.
George Orwell
... ages in which the dominant weapon is expensive or difficult to make will tend to be ages of despotism, whereas when the dominant weapon is cheap and simple, the common people have a chance... A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon -- so long as there is no answer to it -- gives claws to the weak.
George Orwell
Freedom is the right to tell others what they don't want to hear.
George Orwell
To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available.

George Orwell
Four legs gooood, two legs baaad!
George Orwell

George Orwell
I had been in London innumerable times, and yet till that day I had never noticed one of the worst things about London-the fact that it costs money even to sit down.
George Orwell
Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
If one harbours anywhere in one's mind a nationalistic loyalty or hatred, certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.
George Orwell
Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant.
George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
If you have no money, men won't care for you, women won't love you won't, that is, care for you or love you the last little bit that matters.
George Orwell
