George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell
Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.
George Orwell
In places this book is a little over-written, because Mr Blunden is no more able to resist a quotation than some people are to refuse a drink.
George Orwell
One always abandons something in retreat. Look at Napoleon at the Beresina! He abandoned his whole army.
George Orwell
The common people, on the whole, are still living in the world of absolute good and evil from which the intellectuals have long since escaped.
George Orwell
