More quotes by George Orwell
The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.
George Orwell
Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.
George Orwell
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.
George Orwell
But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him the horror was that he might also be wrong.
George Orwell
Literature is doomed if liberty of thought perishes.
George Orwell
All propaganda is lies, even when one is telling the truth.
George Orwell
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
George Orwell
When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on.
George Orwell
An earthquake is such fun when it is over.
George Orwell
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
George Orwell
We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.
George Orwell
I am afraid of death. You are young, so presumably you're more afraid of it than I am. Obviously we shall put if off as long as we can. But it makes very little difference. So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing.
George Orwell
The essential point here is that all people with small, insecure incomes are in the same boat and ought to be fighting on the same side. Probably we could do with a little less talk about' capitalist' and 'proletarian' and a little more about the robbers and the robbed.
George Orwell
I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.
George Orwell
The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental , nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink
George Orwell
The artist is to be exempt from the moral laws that are binding on ordinary people. Just pronounce the magic word Art, and everything is O.K. Rotting corpses with snails crawling over them are O.K. kicking little girls in the head is O.K. even a film like L'Age d'Or is O.K.
George Orwell
When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
George Orwell
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.
George Orwell
At fifty everyone has the face he deserves.
George Orwell
What can the England of 1940 have in common with the England of 1840? But then, what have you in common with the child of five whose photograph your mother keeps on the mantelpiece? Nothing, except that you happen to be the same person.
George Orwell
