George Orwell

George Orwell
Image
It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness.

The way to make a million dollars is to start a religion.
George Orwell

So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing.
George Orwell
Image
Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.
George Orwell
Image
If you turn the other cheek, you will get a harder blow on it than you got on the first one. This does not always happen, but it is to be expected, and you ought not to complain if it does happen.

An earthquake is such fun when it is over.
