More quotes by George Orwell
It could not have been ten seconds, and yet it seemed a long time that their hands were clasped together. He had time to learn every detail of her hand.
George Orwell
The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.
George Orwell
The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
George Orwell
International football is the continuation of war by other means.
George Orwell
Napoleon is always right.
George Orwell
He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.
George Orwell
We do not merely destroy our enemies we change them.
George Orwell
In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
George Orwell
Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.
George Orwell
Mrs Weaver nosed among the books, too dim-witted to grasp that they were in alphabetical order.
George Orwell
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
George Orwell
All propaganda is lies, even when one is telling the truth.
George Orwell
A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war.
George Orwell
His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” —which he had adopted as his personal motto.
George Orwell
Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.
George Orwell
Contrary to popular belief, the past was not more eventful than the present. If it seems so it is because when you look backward things that happened years apart are telescoped together, and because very few of your memories come to you genuinely virgin.
George Orwell
No animal shall kill any other animal WITHOUT CAUSE.
George Orwell
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
George Orwell
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
George Orwell
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
George Orwell
