More quotes by George Orwell
Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
George Orwell
Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant.
George Orwell

George Orwell
Winston was gelatinous with fatigue.
George Orwell
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
George Orwell
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.
George Orwell
Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.
George Orwell
So long as human beings stay human, death and life are the same thing.
George Orwell

George Orwell
It's a wonderful feeling to have a niece like you Because you are always so dear You are so dear no matter the year But all throughout each day of the year There could hardly be a town in the South of England where you could throw a brick without hitting the niece of a bishop.
George Orwell

George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.
George Orwell
The more men you've had, the more I love you.
George Orwell
An earthquake is such fun when it is over.
George Orwell
The stars are a free show it don’t cost anything to use your eyes
George Orwell
Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.
George Orwell
Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing.
George Orwell
Huge events like the Ukraine famine of 1933, involving the deaths of millions of people, have actually escaped the attention of the majority of English russophiles.
George Orwell
Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
George Orwell
