More quotes by George Orwell
When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
George Orwell
It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.
George Orwell
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
George Orwell
For after all, what is there behind, except money? Money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to Italy. Money writes books, money sells them. Give me not righteousness, O lord, give me money, only money.
George Orwell
Good novels are not written by orthodoxy-sniffers, nor by people who are conscience-stricken about their own orthodoxy. Good novels are written by people who are not frightened.
George Orwell
The tendency of advanced capitalism has been to enlarge the middle class and not to wipe it out, as it once seemed likely to do.
George Orwell
A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.
George Orwell
Now he had recognized himself as a dead man it became important to stay alive as long as possible.
George Orwell
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
George Orwell
... what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be told truthfully.
George Orwell
The inflated style is itself a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
George Orwell
There is no test of literary merit except survival, which is itself an index to majority opinion.
George Orwell
England will still be England, an everlasting animal, stretching into the future and the past and like all living things having the power to change out of all recognition and yet remain the same.
George Orwell
Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing.
George Orwell
Politics is the choice between the lesser of two evils.
George Orwell
We are in a strange period of history in which a revolutionary has to be a patriot and a patriot has to be a revolutionary.
George Orwell
The hospital is the antechamber to the tomb
George Orwell
Totalitarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere.
George Orwell
