George Orwell
Image
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more of less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
George Orwell

George Orwell

For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.
George Orwell

Imperialism as he [Kipling] sees it is a sort of forcible evangelising.
George Orwell
Image
Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
Image
His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” —which he had adopted as his personal motto.
George Orwell
Image
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
George Orwell
Image
Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.
George Orwell
Image
If human equality is to be forever averted -- if the High, as we have called them, are to keep their places permanently -- then the prevailing mental condition must be controlled insanity.
George Orwell
Image
From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
