George Orwell

George Orwell
The war is waged against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.
George Orwell
Antisemitism, for instance, is simply not the doctrine of a grown-up person.
George Orwell
Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly.
George Orwell
Looking at the world as a whole, the drift for many decades has been not towards anarchy but towards the reimposition of slavery. We may be heading not for general breakdown but for an epoch as horribly stable as the slave empires of antiquity.
George Orwell
Serious sport is war minus the shooting.
George Orwell
