More quotes by George Orwell
For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.
George Orwell
Good prose should be transparent, like a window pane.
George Orwell
they say that time heals all things, they say you can always forget but the smiles and the tears across the years they twist my heart strings yet!
George Orwell
Mankind is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell.
George Orwell
A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war.
George Orwell
The major problem of our time is the decay in the belief in personal immortality, and it cannot be dealt with while the average human being is either drudging like an ox or shivering in fear of the secret police... How right [the working classes] are to realize that the belly comes before the soul, not in the scale of values but in point of time!
George Orwell
For the future. For the unborn.
George Orwell
There is no such thing as a naval dictatorship.
George Orwell
Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing.
George Orwell
The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.
George Orwell
It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.
George Orwell
The cheaper books become, the less money is spent on books.
George Orwell
At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.
George Orwell
Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.
George Orwell
The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon.
George Orwell
Manchester is the belly and guts of the nation
George Orwell
In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all.
George Orwell
Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.
George Orwell
It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.
George Orwell
The existence of good bad literature—the fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that one's intellect simply refuses to take seriously—is a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration.
George Orwell
