More quotes by George Orwell
There is no such thing as a naval dictatorship.
George Orwell
England will still be England, an everlasting animal, stretching into the future and the past and like all living things having the power to change out of all recognition and yet remain the same.
George Orwell
He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable.
George Orwell
We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.
George Orwell
Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant.
George Orwell
In Moulmein, in lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people - the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me.
George Orwell
The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.
George Orwell

George Orwell
It was not the man's brain that was speaking it was his larynx.
George Orwell
Some ideas are so stupid that only intellectuals believe them.
George Orwell

George Orwell
We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now.
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
The Penguin books are splendid value for sixpence, so splendid that if other publishers had any sense they would combine against them and suppress them.
George Orwell
Nothing holds it together except an idea which is indestructible.
George Orwell
We may be together for another six months—a year—there’s no knowing. At the end we’re certain to be apart. Do you realize how utterly alone we shall be?
George Orwell
He thought with a kind of astonishment of the biological uselessness of pain and fear, the treachery of the human body which always freezes into inertia at exactly the moment when a special effort is needed.
George Orwell
Despotic governments can stand 'moral force' till the cows come home what they fear is physical force.
George Orwell
Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.
George Orwell
Sanity was statistical. It was merely a question of learning to think as they thought.
George Orwell
