George Orwell
One always abandons something in retreat. Look at Napoleon at the Beresina! He abandoned his whole army.
George Orwell
Nothing holds it together except an idea which is indestructible.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.
George Orwell
A sahib has got to act like a sahib he has got to appear resolute, to know his own mind and do definite things.
George Orwell
Orthodoxy is the ability to say two and two make five when faith requires it.
George Orwell

George Orwell

George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell

George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
In so far as it takes effect at all, pacifist propaganda can only be effective against those countries where a certain amount of freedom of speech is still permitted in other words it is helpful to totalitarianism.
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
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
George Orwell
The Puritanical nonsense of excluding children and therefore to some extent women from pubs has turned these places into mere boozing shops instead of the family gathering places that they ought to be.
George Orwell
Napoleon is always right.
George Orwell
