More quotes by George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
Human beings were behaving as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine.
George Orwell
It's a wonderful feeling to have a niece like you Because you are always so dear You are so dear no matter the year But all throughout each day of the year There could hardly be a town in the South of England where you could throw a brick without hitting the niece of a bishop.
George Orwell
Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.
George Orwell
they say that time heals all things, they say you can always forget but the smiles and the tears across the years they twist my heart strings yet!
George Orwell
The essential point here is that all people with small, insecure incomes are in the same boat and ought to be fighting on the same side. Probably we could do with a little less talk about' capitalist' and 'proletarian' and a little more about the robbers and the robbed.
George Orwell
. . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it.
George Orwell
The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself. WHO wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same.
George Orwell
Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.
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
The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
George Orwell
A Socialist United States of Europe seems to me the only worth-while political objective today
George Orwell
Do you remember writing in your diary, he said, that it did not matter whether I was a friend or an enemy, since I was at least a person who understood you and could be talked to? You were right. I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.
George Orwell
Mrs Weaver nosed among the books, too dim-witted to grasp that they were in alphabetical order.
George Orwell
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.
George Orwell
England will still be England, an everlasting animal, stretching into the future and the past and like all living things having the power to change out of all recognition and yet remain the same.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.
George Orwell
In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all.
George Orwell
Almost as swiftly as he had imagined it, she had torn her clothes off, and when she flung them aside it was with that same magnificent gesture by which a whole civilization seemed to be annihilated.
George Orwell
A minority of one... the definition of insanity.
George Orwell
