More quotes by George Orwell
Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.
George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell
Writing a novel is agony.
George Orwell
The war is waged against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.
George Orwell
Four legs gooood, two legs baaad!
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
I always disagree, however, when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism. It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence.
George Orwell
Four legs good, two legs bad.
George Orwell
One of the effects of a safe and civilized life is an immense over sensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting.
George Orwell
Sheer egoism... Writers share this characteristic with scientists, artists, politicians, lawyers, soldiers, successful businessmen - in short, with the whole top crust of humanity.
George Orwell
If you ask any ordinary reader which of Dickens's proletarian characters he can remember, the three he is almost certain to mention are Bill Sykes, Sam Weller and Mrs. Gamp. A burglar, a valet and a drunken midwife-not exactly a representative cross-section of the English working class.
George Orwell
I have no wish to take life, not even human life
George Orwell
The four great motives for writing prose are sheer egoism, esthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse, and political purpose.
George Orwell
Take away freedom of speech, and the creative faculties dry up.
George Orwell
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.
George Orwell
Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'.
George Orwell
To accept an unorthodoxy is always to inherit unresolved contradictions
George Orwell
Despotic governments can stand 'moral force' till the cows come home what they fear is physical force.
George Orwell
My best fishing-memory is about some fish that I never caught.
George Orwell
Myths which are believed in tend to become true.
George Orwell
