More quotes by George Orwell
We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.
George Orwell
International football is the continuation of war by other means.
George Orwell
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
George Orwell
Perhaps it is only when people are somewhere near the starvation level that they have anything to sing about.
George Orwell
Reality is inside the skull.
George Orwell
She had had her momentary flowering, a year, perhaps, of wildrose beauty, and then she had suddenly swollen like a fertilized fruit and grown hard and red and coarse, and then her life had been laundering, scrubbing, laundering, first for children, then for grandchildren, over thirty years. At the end of it she was still singing.
George Orwell
No one I met at this time -- doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients -- failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.
George Orwell
In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
Until one has some kind of professional relationship with books, one does not discover how bad the majority of them are.
George Orwell
I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool.
George Orwell
There is no test of literary merit except survival, which is itself an index to majority opinion.
George Orwell
Every Joke is a Tiny Revolution
George Orwell
If human equality is to be forever averted -- if the High, as we have called them, are to keep their places permanently -- then the prevailing mental condition must be controlled insanity.
George Orwell
It was not the man's brain that was speaking it was his larynx.
George Orwell
The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon.
George Orwell
Records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth.
George Orwell
Winston could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war...war had literally been continuous, though strictly speaking it had not always been the same war. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil.
George Orwell
One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.
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
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
