It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell
Image
Bombing is not especially inhumane. War itself is inhumane and the bombing plane, which is used to paralyse industry and transport, is a relatively civilised weapon. 'Normal' or 'legitimate' warfare is just as destructive of inanimate objects and enormously so of human lives.
George Orwell
Image
We may be together for another six months—a year—there’s no knowing. At the end we’re certain to be apart. Do you realize how utterly alone we shall be?
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

Until one has some kind of professional relationship with books, one does not discover how bad the majority of them are.
George Orwell
Image
I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.
George Orwell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I understand HOW. I do not understand WHY
George Orwell
Image
But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? And yet --!
George Orwell
Image
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.
George Orwell
Image
We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.
George Orwell

Take pleasure in the impact of one sound on another.
George Orwell

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?
