More quotes by George Orwell
Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.
George Orwell
It is a feeling of relief, almost of pleasure, at knowing yourself at last genuinely down and out. You have talked so often of going to the dogs - and well, here are the dogs, and you have reached them, and you can stand it. It takes off a lot of anxiety.
George Orwell
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George Orwell
All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
George Orwell
A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
Her feelings were her own, and could not be altered from outside. It would not have occurred to her that an action which is ineffectual thereby becomes meaningless. If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love.
George Orwell
We do not merely destroy our enemies we change them.
George Orwell
Bad writers are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones.
George Orwell
I do not wish to comment on the work if it does not speak for itself, it is a failure.
George Orwell
For the future. For the unborn.
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
A dirty joke is not, of course, a serious attack on morality, but it is a sort of mental rebellion, a momentary wish that things were otherwise.
George Orwell
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George Orwell
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
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
they say that time heals all things, they say you can always forget but the smiles and the tears across the years they twist my heart strings yet!
George Orwell
The belly comes before the soul.
George Orwell
No one I met at this time -- doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients -- failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.
George Orwell
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing
George Orwell
Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.
George Orwell
