More quotes by George Orwell
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.
George Orwell
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.
George Orwell
The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.
George Orwell
Contrary to popular belief, the past was not more eventful than the present. If it seems so it is because when you look backward things that happened years apart are telescoped together, and because very few of your memories come to you genuinely virgin.
George Orwell
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again but already it was impossible to say which was which.
George Orwell
The main motive for nonattachment is a desire to escape from the pain of living, and above all from love, which, sexual or non-sexual, is hard work.
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
Sanity was statistical. It was merely a question of learning to think as they thought.
George Orwell
For the future. For the unborn.
George Orwell
Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.
George Orwell
You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.
George Orwell
When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic. Women face childbed and the scrubbing brush, revolutionaries keep their mouths shut in the torture chamber, battleships go down with their guns still firing when their decks are awash.
George Orwell
A minority of one... the definition of insanity.
George Orwell
All men are enemies. All animals are comrades
George Orwell
Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.
George Orwell
Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.
George Orwell
The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion.
George Orwell
The weariness of the cell is the vigour of the organism.
George Orwell
A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
How could you communicate with the future? It was impossible. Either the future would resemble the present in which case it would not listen to him, or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless.
George Orwell
