George Orwell
All men are enemies. All animals are comrades
George Orwell
All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.
George Orwell
The idea really came to me the day I got my new false teeth.
George Orwell
I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.
George Orwell

George Orwell
By the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.
George Orwell
The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master.
George Orwell
Hunger reduces one to an utterly spineless, brainless condition, more like the after-effects of influenza than anything else. It is as though all one's blood had been pumped out and lukewarm water substituted.
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
If I had understood the situation a bit better I should probably have joined the Anarchists.
George Orwell
It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
George Orwell
How could you communicate with the future? It was impossible. Either the future would resemble the present in which case it would not listen to him, or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless.
George Orwell
Patriotism has nothing to do with Conservatism. It is actually the opposite of Conservatism, since it is a devotion to something that is always changing and yet is felt to be mystically the same.
George Orwell
