More quotes by George Orwell
Happiness can exist only in acceptance.
George Orwell
England is the most class-ridden country under the sun. It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and silly.
George Orwell
All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
George Orwell
Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.
George Orwell
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
George Orwell
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George Orwell
Imperialism as he [Kipling] sees it is a sort of forcible evangelising.
George Orwell
Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell
From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is.
George Orwell
Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.
George Orwell
To accept an unorthodoxy is always to inherit unresolved contradictions
George Orwell
Good writing is like a windowpane.
George Orwell
The mass of the rich and the poor are differentiated by their incomes and nothing else,and the average millionaire is only the average dishwasher dressed in a new suit.
George Orwell
The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself. WHO wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same.
George Orwell
I always disagree, however, when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism. It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence.
George Orwell
Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.
George Orwell
Nothing holds it together except an idea which is indestructible.
George Orwell
The idea really came to me the day I got my new false teeth.
George Orwell
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
George Orwell
