More quotes by George Orwell
I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.
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
It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the party was trying to achieve.
George Orwell
He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable.
George Orwell
By revolution we become more ourselves, not less.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent, but the tests that have to be applied to them are not, of course, the same in all cases.
George Orwell
Probably the best nonsense poetry is produced gradually and accidentally, by communities rather than by individuals.
George Orwell
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
George Orwell
Take pleasure in the impact of one sound on another.
George Orwell
I felt as if I was the only person awake in a city of sleepwalkers. That's an illusion, of course. When you walk through a crowd of strangers it's next door to impossible not to imagine that they're all waxworks, but probably they're thinking just the same about you.
George Orwell
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
George Orwell
Happiness can exist only in acceptance.
George Orwell
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
George Orwell
That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.
George Orwell
A Socialist United States of Europe seems to me the only worth-while political objective today
George Orwell
The plant is blind but it knows enough to keep pushing upwards towards the light, and it will continue to do this in the face of endless discouragements.
George Orwell
A sahib has got to act like a sahib he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things.
George Orwell
Now he had recognized himself as a dead man it became important to stay alive as long as possible.
George Orwell
If I had understood the situation a bit better I should probably have joined the Anarchists.
George Orwell
Good novels are not written by orthodoxy-sniffers, nor by people who are conscience-stricken about their own orthodoxy. Good novels are written by people who are not frightened.
George Orwell
