More quotes by George Orwell
They clichés will construct your sentences for you - even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent - and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself.
George Orwell
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
George Orwell
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
George Orwell

George Orwell
Winston was gelatinous with fatigue.
George Orwell
The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon.

George Orwell
To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.
George Orwell
The whole experience of being hit by a bullet is very interesting and I think worth describing in detail.
George Orwell
The choice before human beings, is not, as a rule, between good and evil but between two evils.
George Orwell
A fat man is never so happy as when he is describing himself as robust.
George Orwell
Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.
George Orwell
A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
George Orwell
The main motive for nonattachment is a desire to escape from the pain of living, and above all from love, which, sexual or non-sexual, is hard work.
George Orwell
