More quotes by 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 essential point here is that all people with small, insecure incomes are in the same boat and ought to be fighting on the same side. Probably we could do with a little less talk about' capitalist' and 'proletarian' and a little more about the robbers and the robbed.
George Orwell
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
George Orwell
Politics is the choice between the lesser of two evils.
George Orwell
By using stale metaphors, similes and idioms, you save much mental effort, at the cost of leaving your meaning vague, not only for your reader but for yourself.
George Orwell
Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.
George Orwell
Despotic governments can stand 'moral force' till the cows come home what they fear is physical force.
George Orwell
History has to move in a certain direction, even if it has to be pushed that way by neurotics.
George Orwell
The urge to shout filthy words at the top of his voice was as strong as ever.
George Orwell
It was not the man's brain that was speaking it was his larynx.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.
George Orwell
The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.
George Orwell
I am afraid of death. You are young, so presumably you're more afraid of it than I am. Obviously we shall put if off as long as we can. But it makes very little difference. So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing.
George Orwell
Nothing holds it together except an idea which is indestructible.
George Orwell
Public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law.
George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
The fallacy is to believe that under a dictatorial government you can be free inside
George Orwell
Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.
George Orwell
From the proletarians nothing is to be feared. Left to themselves, they will continue from generation to generation and from century to century, working, breeding, and dying, not only without any impulse to rebel, but without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is.
George Orwell
To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.
George Orwell
