More quotes by George Orwell

Image
The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people - people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up trying to be normal or decent. Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behavior, just as money frees people from work.
George Orwell
Image
A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war.
George Orwell
Image
A sahib has got to act like a sahib he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things.
George Orwell
Image
The fact is that every war suffers a kind of progressive degradation with every month that it continues, because such things as individual liberty and a truthful press are simply not compatible with military efficiency.
George Orwell

The hospital is the antechamber to the tomb
George Orwell

There is only one way to make money at writing, and that is to marry a publisher's daughter.
George Orwell
Image
You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.
George Orwell
Image
They clichés will construct your sentences for you - even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent - and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself.
George Orwell

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
George Orwell
Image
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
Image
We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.
George Orwell
Image
For the future. For the unborn.
George Orwell
Image
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
George Orwell
Image
I do not wish to comment on the work if it does not speak for itself, it is a failure.
George Orwell
Image
Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.
George Orwell
Image
To be corrupted by totalitarianism, one does not have to live in a totalitarian country.
George Orwell
Image
The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.
George Orwell
Image
Never, for any reason on earth, could you wish for an increase in pain. Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop.
George Orwell
Image
The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental , nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink
