More quotes by George Orwell

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Processions, meetings, military parades, lectures, waxwork displays, film shows, telescreen programs all had to be organized stands had to be erected, effigies built, slogans coined, songs written, rumours circulated, photographs faked.
George Orwell
Image
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
Image
Never, for any reason on earth, could you wish for an increase in pain. Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop.
George Orwell
Image
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
George Orwell
Image
Literature is doomed if liberty of thought perishes.
George Orwell
Image
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
George Orwell
Image
It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.
George Orwell
Image
History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.
George Orwell
Image
Hunger reduces one to an utterly spineless, brainless condition, more like the after-effects of influenza than anything else. It is as though all one's blood had been pumped out and lukewarm water substituted.
George Orwell
Image
Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.
George Orwell
Image
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
George Orwell
Image
To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence.
George Orwell
Image
Take pleasure in the impact of one sound on another.
George Orwell
Image
Until one has some kind of professional relationship with books, one does not discover how bad the majority of them are.
George Orwell
Image
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.
George Orwell
Image
She had had her momentary flowering, a year, perhaps, of wildrose beauty, and then she had suddenly swollen like a fertilized fruit and grown hard and red and coarse, and then her life had been laundering, scrubbing, laundering, first for children, then for grandchildren, over thirty years. At the end of it she was still singing.
George Orwell
Image
I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.
George Orwell

Freedom is the right to tell others what they don't want to hear.
George Orwell
