More quotes by George Orwell
Windmill or no windmill, he said, life would go on as it had always gone on--that is, badly.
George Orwell
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
George Orwell
England will still be England, an everlasting animal, stretching into the future and the past and like all living things having the power to change out of all recognition and yet remain the same.
George Orwell
Records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth.
George Orwell
Perhaps it is only when people are somewhere near the starvation level that they have anything to sing about.
George Orwell
Writing a novel is agony.
George Orwell
The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon.
George Orwell
Sheer egoism... Writers share this characteristic with scientists, artists, politicians, lawyers, soldiers, successful businessmen - in short, with the whole top crust of humanity.
George Orwell
It was given out that the animals there practised cannibalism, tortured one another with red-hot horseshoes, and had their females in common. This was what came of rebelling against the laws of Nature, Frederick and Pilkington said.
George Orwell
If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?
George Orwell
Winston Churchill could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war.
George Orwell
As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
George Orwell
Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.
George Orwell
The very word 'war', therefore, has become misleading. It would probably be accurate to say that by becoming continuous war has ceased to exist. ... War is Peace.
George Orwell
It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.
George Orwell
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.
George Orwell
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.
George Orwell
If you turn the other cheek, you will get a harder blow on it than you got on the first one. This does not always happen, but it is to be expected, and you ought not to complain if it does happen.
George Orwell
No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.
George Orwell
Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon - so long as there is no answer to it - gives claws to the weak.
George Orwell
