More quotes by George Orwell
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.
George Orwell

George Orwell
I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.
George Orwell
What can the England of 1940 have in common with the England of 1840? But then, what have you in common with the child of five whose photograph your mother keeps on the mantelpiece? Nothing, except that you happen to be the same person.
George Orwell
War is evil, but it is often the lesser evil.
George Orwell
I'm fat, but I'm thin inside... there's a thin man inside every fat man.
George Orwell
We do not merely destroy our enemies we change them.
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

George Orwell
There is no such thing as a naval dictatorship.
George Orwell
Almost as swiftly as he had imagined it, she had torn her clothes off, and when she flung them aside it was with that same magnificent gesture by which a whole civilization seemed to be annihilated.
George Orwell
To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.
George Orwell
What is not hereditary cannot be permanent.
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
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.
George Orwell
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
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
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
George Orwell
