More quotes by George Orwell
A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened.
George Orwell
An earthquake is such fun when it is over.
George Orwell
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
George Orwell
If he thinks he floats off the floor, and if I simultaneously think I see him do it, then the thing happens.
George Orwell
What is not hereditary cannot be permanent.
George Orwell
Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal.
George Orwell
He drove his mind into the abyss where poetry is written.
George Orwell
One of the effects of a safe and civilized life is an immense over sensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting.
George Orwell
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.
George Orwell
We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now.
George Orwell
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George Orwell
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell
And yet, just for a moment, what almost frightening power had sounded in that cry from only a few hundred throats! Why was it that they could never shout like that about anything that mattered?
George Orwell
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
George Orwell
Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.
George Orwell
A thing which I regret, and which I will try to remedy some time, is that I have never in my life planted a walnut. Nobody does plant them nowadays-when you see a walnut it is almost invariably an old tree. If you plant a walnut you are planting it for your grandchildren, and who cares a damn for his grandchildren?
George Orwell
To accept an unorthodoxy is always to inherit unresolved contradictions
George Orwell
There is no test of literary merit except survival, which is itself an index to majority opinion.
George Orwell
The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?
George Orwell
After 40, a man is responsible for his face.
George Orwell
