More quotes by George Orwell
Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.
George Orwell
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.
George Orwell
The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?
George Orwell
The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master.
George Orwell
Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.
George Orwell
By using stale metaphors, similes and idioms, you save much mental effort, at the cost of leaving your meaning vague, not only for your reader but for yourself.
George Orwell
Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
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
In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
George Orwell
The idea really came to me the day I got my new false teeth.
George Orwell
All men are enemies. All animals are comrades
George Orwell
A dirty joke is not, of course, a serious attack on morality, but it is a sort of mental rebellion, a momentary wish that things were otherwise.
George Orwell
There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism.
George Orwell
In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all.
George Orwell
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
George Orwell
The artist is to be exempt from the moral laws that are binding on ordinary people. Just pronounce the magic word Art, and everything is O.K. Rotting corpses with snails crawling over them are O.K. kicking little girls in the head is O.K. even a film like L'Age d'Or is O.K.
George Orwell
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
The human beings did not hate Animal Farm any less now that it was prospering indeed, they hated it more than ever.
George Orwell
The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
George Orwell
