More quotes by George Orwell
What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?
George Orwell
To do anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even to go for a walk by yourself, was always slightly dangerous. There was a word for it in Newspeak: ownlife.
George Orwell
We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.
George Orwell
The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded.
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
You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that evey sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized.
George Orwell
There is a geographical element in all belief-saying what seem profound truths in India have a way of seeming enormous platitudes in England, and vice versa . Perhaps the fundamental difference is that beneath a tropical sun individuality seems less distinct and the loss of it less important.
George Orwell
One must choose between God and Man, and all radicals and progressives, from the mildest liberal to the most extreme anarchist, have in effect chosen Man.
George Orwell
To accept civilization as it is practically means accepting decay.
George Orwell
There are some situations from which one can only escape by acting like a devil or a lunatic.
George Orwell
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.
George Orwell
. . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it.
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
They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening
George Orwell
Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist
George Orwell
The object of powder is powder.
George Orwell
Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
George Orwell
It is deliberate policy to keep even the favoured groups somewhere near the brink of hardship, because a general state of scarcity increases the importance of small privileges and thus magnifies the distinction between one group and another.
George Orwell
It is brought home to you...that it is only because miners sweat their guts out that superior persons can remain superior.
George Orwell
Freedom of the Press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticize and oppose
