More quotes by 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
I'm fat, but I'm thin inside. Has it ever struck you that there's a thin man inside every fat man, just as they say there's a statue inside every block of stone?
George Orwell
What is to be expected of them is not treachery, or physcial cowardice, but stupidity, unconscious sabotage, an infallible instinct for doing the wrong thing.
George Orwell
It said what he would have said, if it had been possible for him to set his scattered thoughts in order. It was the product of a mind similar to his own, but enormously more powerful, more systematic, less fear-ridden. The best books, he perceived, are those that tell you what you know already.
George Orwell
He drove his mind into the abyss where poetry is written.
George Orwell
The hospital is the antechamber to the tomb
George Orwell
When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on.
George Orwell
...in the negative part of Professor's Hayek's thesis there is a great deal of truth. It cannot be said too often - at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough - that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamt of.
George Orwell
Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'.
George Orwell
Myths which are believed in tend to become true.
George Orwell
Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.
George Orwell
From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
George Orwell
The primary aim of modern warfare ... is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living.
George Orwell
By revolution we become more ourselves, not less.
George Orwell
There is no such thing as a naval dictatorship.
George Orwell
And if our book consumption remains as low as it has been, at least let us admit that it is because reading is a less exciting pastime than going to the dogs, the pictures or the pub, and not because books, whether bought or borrowed, are too expensive.
George Orwell
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
George Orwell
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George Orwell
The end was contained in the beginning.
George Orwell
