In so far as it takes effect at all, pacifist propaganda can only be effective against those countries where a certain amount of freedom of speech is still permitted in other words it is helpful to totalitarianism.

More quotes by George Orwell
For the future. For the unborn.
George Orwell
The result of this is that so-called peace propaganda is just as dishonest and intellectually disgusting as war propaganda. Like war propaganda, it concentrates on putting forward a ‘case’, obscuring the opponent’s point of view and avoiding awkward questions.
George Orwell
You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one.
George Orwell
It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the party was trying to achieve.
George Orwell
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
George Orwell
The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.
George Orwell
Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.
George Orwell
If one harbours anywhere in one's mind a nationalistic loyalty or hatred, certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.
George Orwell
Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal.
George Orwell
History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
George Orwell
England is the most class-ridden country under the sun. It is a land of snobbery and privilege, ruled largely by the old and silly.
George Orwell
It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other.
George Orwell
It is one of the tragedies of the half-educated that they develop late, when they are already committed to some wrong way of life.
George Orwell
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
George Orwell
Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it. Objectively the pacifist is pro-Nazi.
George Orwell
The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
George Orwell
The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism.
George Orwell
By the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.
George Orwell
I felt as if I was the only person awake in a city of sleepwalkers. That's an illusion, of course. When you walk through a crowd of strangers it's next door to impossible not to imagine that they're all waxworks, but probably they're thinking just the same about you.
George Orwell
To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.
George Orwell
