More quotes by George Orwell
Take pleasure in the impact of one sound on another.
George Orwell
The Puritanical nonsense of excluding children and therefore to some extent women from pubs has turned these places into mere boozing shops instead of the family gathering places that they ought to be.
George Orwell
There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
Public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law.
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
The food crank is by definition a person willing to cut himself off from human society in the hopes of adding five years onto the life of his carcase that is, a person out of touch with common humanity.
George Orwell
The result of this is that so-called peace propaganda is just as dishonest and intellectually disgusting as war propaganda. Like war propaganda, it concentrates on putting forward a ‘case’, obscuring the opponent’s point of view and avoiding awkward questions.
George Orwell
The real test of character is how you treat someone who has no possibility of doing you any good.
George Orwell
If I had to make a list of six books which were to be preserved when all others were destroyed, I would certainly put Gulliver's Travels among them.
George Orwell
I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool.
George Orwell
At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.
George Orwell
The four great motives for writing prose are sheer egoism, esthetic enthusiasm, historical impulse, and political purpose.
George Orwell
In so far as it takes effect at all, pacifist propaganda can only be effective against those countries where a certain amount of freedom of speech is still permitted in other words it is helpful to totalitarianism.
George Orwell
From the totalitarian point of view, history is something to be created rather than learned.
George Orwell
A fat man is never so happy as when he is describing himself as robust.
George Orwell
In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
George Orwell
The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people - people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up trying to be normal or decent. Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behavior, just as money frees people from work.
George Orwell
All men are enemies. All animals are comrades
George Orwell
Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George Orwell
