More quotes by George Orwell
England will still be England, an everlasting animal, stretching into the future and the past and like all living things having the power to change out of all recognition and yet remain the same.
George Orwell
In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible... Thus, political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging, and sheer cloudy vagueness... Political language [is] designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable.
George Orwell
An earthquake is such fun when it is over.
George Orwell
Sanity was statistical. It was merely a question of learning to think as they thought.
George Orwell
Gordon eyed them with inert hatred. At this moment he hated all books, and novels most of all. Horrible to think of all that soggy, half-baked trash massed together in one place.
George Orwell
All rulers in all ages have tried to impose a false view of the world upon their followers.
George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell

George Orwell
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.
George Orwell

George Orwell
No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.
George Orwell
If you turn the other cheek, you will get a harder blow on it than you got on the first one. This does not always happen, but it is to be expected, and you ought not to complain if it does happen.
George Orwell
Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing.
George Orwell
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out
George Orwell
Human beings were behaving as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine.
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
To accept an unorthodoxy is always to inherit unresolved contradictions
George Orwell
The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself. WHO wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same.
George Orwell
The fallacy is to believe that under a dictatorial government you can be free inside
George Orwell
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
