More quotes by George Orwell

George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell

George Orwell
What is not hereditary cannot be permanent.
George Orwell
[You write out of the] desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, etc., etc., etc. It is humbug to pretend this is not a motive and a strong one.
George Orwell
I understand HOW. I do not understand WHY
George Orwell

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
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
The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
George Orwell
People simply disappeared, always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word.
George Orwell
Imperialism as he [Kipling] sees it is a sort of forcible evangelising.
George Orwell
How could you make appeal to the future when not a trace of you, not even an anonymous word scribbled on a piece of paper, could physically survive?
George Orwell
When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on.
George Orwell
