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
In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning.
George Orwell
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
George Orwell
The object of powder is powder.
George Orwell

George Orwell
Never have ideas about children, and never have ideas for them.
George Orwell
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed: everything else is public relations.
George Orwell
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
George Orwell
Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant.
George Orwell
The ruling power is always faced with the question, ‘In such and such circumstances, what would you do?’, whereas the opposition is not obliged to take responsibility or make any real decisions.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent, but the tests that have to be applied to them are not, of course, the same in all cases.
George Orwell
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me. They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are only 'doing their duty'
George Orwell
