More quotes by George Orwell

George Orwell
To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.
George Orwell
It reminded us that propaganda in some form or other lurks in every book, that every work of art has a meaning and a purpose - a political, social and religious purpose - that our aesthetic judgements are always coloured by our prejudices and beliefs
George Orwell
The belly comes before the soul.
George Orwell
they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.
George Orwell
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.
George Orwell
I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.
George Orwell
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.
George Orwell
A dirty joke is not, of course, a serious attack on morality, but it is a sort of mental rebellion, a momentary wish that things were otherwise.
George Orwell
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
George Orwell
It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
George Orwell
Politics is the choice between the lesser of two evils.
George Orwell
Human beings were behaving as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine.
George Orwell
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
George Orwell
Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.
George Orwell
The ruling power is always faced with the question, ‘In such and such circumstances, what would you do?’, whereas the opposition is not obliged to take responsibility or make any real decisions.
George Orwell
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.
George Orwell
Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.
George Orwell
Truth becomes untruth if uttered by your enemy
George Orwell
All men are enemies. All animals are comrades
George Orwell
