More quotes by George Orwell
In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
George Orwell
The essential point here is that all people with small, insecure incomes are in the same boat and ought to be fighting on the same side. Probably we could do with a little less talk about' capitalist' and 'proletarian' and a little more about the robbers and the robbed.
George Orwell
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell
Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell
There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.
George Orwell
It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.
George Orwell
A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, but then fail all the more completely because he drinks.
George Orwell
If one harbours anywhere in one's mind a nationalistic loyalty or hatred, certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.
George Orwell
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.
George Orwell
And if our book consumption remains as low as it has been, at least let us admit that it is because reading is a less exciting pastime than going to the dogs, the pictures or the pub, and not because books, whether bought or borrowed, are too expensive.
George Orwell
A Socialist United States of Europe seems to me the only worth-while political objective today
George Orwell
Preventive war is a crime not easily committed by a country that retains any traces of democracy.
George Orwell
We do not merely destroy our enemies we change them.
George Orwell
We were once told that the aeroplane had abolished frontiers actually it is only since the aeroplane became a serious weapon that frontiers have become definitely impassable.
George Orwell
Freedom is the right to tell others what they don't want to hear.
George Orwell
Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist
George Orwell
Big Brother is watching you.
George Orwell
For weeks past he had been making ready for this moment, and it had never crossed his mind that anything would be needed except courage. The actual writing would be easy. All he had to do was to transfer to paper the interminable restless monologue that had been running inside his head, literally for years.
George Orwell
He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
George Orwell
