It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.
George Orwell
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.
George Orwell
I know it is the fashion to say that most of recorded history is lies anyway. I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.
George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell
It's a wonderful feeling to have a niece like you Because you are always so dear You are so dear no matter the year But all throughout each day of the year There could hardly be a town in the South of England where you could throw a brick without hitting the niece of a bishop.
George Orwell
Take away freedom of speech, and the creative faculties dry up.
George Orwell

George Orwell
Freedom is the right to tell others what they don't want to hear.
George Orwell
Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.
George Orwell
When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on.
George Orwell
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
George Orwell

George Orwell
I had been in London innumerable times, and yet till that day I had never noticed one of the worst things about London-the fact that it costs money even to sit down.
George Orwell
But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him the horror was that he might also be wrong.
George Orwell
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
George Orwell
Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.
George Orwell
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
George Orwell
The more intelligent, the less sane
