More quotes by 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
From where Winston stood it was just possible to read, picked out on its white face in elegant lettering, the three slogans of the Party: WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
George Orwell
Take pleasure in the impact of one sound on another.
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
A plongeur is a slave, and a wasted slave, doing stupid and largely unnecessary work. He is kept at work, ultimately, because of a vague feeling that he would be dangerous if he had leisure. And educated people, who should be on his side, acquiesce in the process, because they know nothing about him and consequently are afraid of him.
George Orwell
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence.
George Orwell
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
George Orwell
Human beings were behaving as human beings and not as cogs in the capitalist machine.
George Orwell

George Orwell
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.
George Orwell
Napoleon is always right.
George Orwell
I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool.
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
Tea is one of the main stays of civilization in this country.
George Orwell
To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.
George Orwell
Mrs Weaver nosed among the books, too dim-witted to grasp that they were in alphabetical order.
George Orwell
. . . it is a corrupting thing to live one's real life in secret. One should live with the stream of life, not against it.
George Orwell
Never, for any reason on earth, could you wish for an increase in pain. Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop.
George Orwell
In any form of art designed to appeal to large numbers of people,...[t]he rich man is usually 'bad', and his machinations are invariably frustrated.: 'Good poor man defeats bad rich man' is an accepted formula.
George Orwell
The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?
George Orwell
