More quotes by George Orwell
When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on.
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
Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.
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
In places this book is a little over-written, because Mr Blunden is no more able to resist a quotation than some people are to refuse a drink.
George Orwell
From the totalitarian point of view, history is something to be created rather than learned.
George Orwell
The war is waged against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.
George Orwell
How right the working classes are in their materialism. How right they are to realize that the belly comes before the soul, not in the scale of values but in point of time!
George Orwell
Tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country.
George Orwell
To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!
George Orwell
...in the negative part of Professor's Hayek's thesis there is a great deal of truth. It cannot be said too often - at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough - that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamt of.
George Orwell
All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
George Orwell
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out
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
The cheaper books become, the less money is spent on books.
George Orwell
It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
George Orwell
For the future. For the unborn.
George Orwell
they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.
George Orwell
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
Bombing is not especially inhumane. War itself is inhumane and the bombing plane, which is used to paralyse industry and transport, is a relatively civilised weapon. 'Normal' or 'legitimate' warfare is just as destructive of inanimate objects and enormously so of human lives.
George Orwell
