More quotes by George Orwell
And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.
George Orwell
Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.
George Orwell
Bad writers are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones.
George Orwell
Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.
George Orwell

George Orwell

George Orwell
By the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.
George Orwell
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
George Orwell
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
George Orwell
We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.
George Orwell
He would say that God had given him a tail to keep the flies off, but that he would sooner have had no tail and no flies.
George Orwell
Literature is doomed if liberty of thought perishes.
George Orwell
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.
George Orwell
The stars are a free show it don’t cost anything to use your eyes
George Orwell
