More quotes by George Orwell
The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion.
George Orwell
The real test of character is how you treat someone who has no possibility of doing you any good.
George Orwell
But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him the horror was that he might also be wrong.
George Orwell
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
No one I met at this time -- doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients -- failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.
George Orwell
. . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it.
George Orwell
And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.
George Orwell
If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?
George Orwell
He drove his mind into the abyss where poetry is written.
George Orwell
He would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies.
George Orwell
...the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war.
George Orwell
I had been in London innumerable times, and yet till that day I had never noticed one of the worst things about London-the fact that it costs money even to sit down.
George Orwell
I am well acquainted with all the arguments against freedom of thought and speech - the arguments which claim that it cannot exist, and the arguments which claim that it ought not to. I answer simply that they don't convince me and that our civilization over a period of four hundred years has been founded on the opposite notice.
George Orwell
They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening
George Orwell
Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon - so long as there is no answer to it - gives claws to the weak.
George Orwell
Winston Churchill could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war.
George Orwell
Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.
George Orwell
If I had to make a list of six books which were to be preserved when all others were destroyed, I would certainly put Gulliver's Travels among them.
George Orwell
Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.
George Orwell
