George Orwell
The whole question of evolution seems less momentous than it did, because, unlike the Victorians, we do not feel that to be descended from animals is degrading to human dignity.
George Orwell

George Orwell
We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.
George Orwell
To be corrupted by totalitarianism, one does not have to live in a totalitarian country.
George Orwell
When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.
George Orwell
A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, but then fail all the more completely because he drinks.
George Orwell
If you have no money, men won't care for you, women won't love you won't, that is, care for you or love you the last little bit that matters.
George Orwell
From the totalitarian point of view, history is something to be created rather than learned.
George Orwell
The whole experience of being hit by a bullet is very interesting and I think worth describing in detail.
George Orwell
It was soon noticed that when ever there was work to be done the cat could never be found.
George Orwell
Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing
