More quotes by George Orwell
[...] you can get anything in this world if you genuinely don't want it.
George Orwell
By the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.
George Orwell
The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself. WHO wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same.
George Orwell
One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words ' Socialism ' and ' Communism ' draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, 'Nature Cure' quack, pacifist, and feminist in England.
George Orwell
I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.
George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell

George Orwell
I'm fat, but I'm thin inside. Has it ever struck you that there's a thin man inside every fat man, just as they say there's a statue inside every block of stone?
George Orwell
What is not hereditary cannot be permanent.
George Orwell

George Orwell
You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one.
George Orwell
[You write out of the] desire to seem clever, to be talked about, to be remembered after death, etc., etc., etc. It is humbug to pretend this is not a motive and a strong one.
George Orwell
The atmosphere of orthodoxy is always damaging to prose, and above all it is completely ruinous to the novel, the most anarchical of all forms of literature.
George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.
George Orwell
How could you make appeal to the future when not a trace of you, not even an anonymous word scribbled on a piece of paper, could physically survive?
George Orwell
Every Joke is a Tiny Revolution
George Orwell
The war is waged against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.
George Orwell
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.
George Orwell
