More quotes by George Orwell
Truth becomes untruth if uttered by your enemy
George Orwell
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
George Orwell
They were governed by private loyalties which they did not question. What mattered were individual relationships, and a completely helpless gesture, an embrace, a tear, a word spoken to a dying man, could have value in itself
George Orwell
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
George Orwell
All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes.
George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.
George Orwell
Writing a novel is agony.
George Orwell
Hunger reduces one to an utterly spineless, brainless condition, more like the after-effects of influenza than anything else. It is as though all one's blood had been pumped out and lukewarm water substituted.
George Orwell
In places this book is a little over-written, because Mr Blunden is no more able to resist a quotation than some people are to refuse a drink.
George Orwell
To accept an unorthodoxy is always to inherit unresolved contradictions
George Orwell
All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
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
Imperialism as he [Kipling] sees it is a sort of forcible evangelising.
George Orwell
There are some situations from which one can only escape by acting like a devil or a lunatic.
George Orwell
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
George Orwell
There is a geographical element in all belief-saying what seem profound truths in India have a way of seeming enormous platitudes in England, and vice versa . Perhaps the fundamental difference is that beneath a tropical sun individuality seems less distinct and the loss of it less important.
George Orwell
The Penguin books are splendid value for sixpence, so splendid that if other publishers had any sense they would combine against them and suppress them.
George Orwell
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
George Orwell
It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.
George Orwell
