More quotes by George Orwell
People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.
George Orwell
History has to move in a certain direction, even if it has to be pushed that way by neurotics.
George Orwell
No animal shall kill any other animal WITHOUT CAUSE.
George Orwell
All true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes.
George Orwell
At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.
George Orwell
You're only a rebel from the waist downwards,' he told her.
George Orwell
When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic. Women face childbed and the scrubbing brush, revolutionaries keep their mouths shut in the torture chamber, battleships go down with their guns still firing when their decks are awash.
George Orwell
Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse--hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.
George Orwell
To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available.
George Orwell
By the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.
George Orwell
Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.
George Orwell
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell
The plant is blind but it knows enough to keep pushing upwards towards the light, and it will continue to do this in the face of endless discouragements.
George Orwell
As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
George Orwell
The problem was how to keep the wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they must not be distributed. And in practice the only way of achieving this was by continuous warfare.
George Orwell
There is a geographical element in all belief-saying what seem profound truths in India have a way of seeming enormous platitudes in England, and vice versa . Perhaps the fundamental difference is that beneath a tropical sun individuality seems less distinct and the loss of it less important.
George Orwell
He thought with a kind of astonishment of the biological uselessness of pain and fear, the treachery of the human body which always freezes into inertia at exactly the moment when a special effort is needed.
George Orwell
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell
Until one has some kind of professional relationship with books, one does not discover how bad the majority of them are.
George Orwell
There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
