More quotes by George Orwell
Power is not a means it is an end.
George Orwell
My best fishing-memory is about some fish that I never caught.
George Orwell
The belly comes before the soul.
George Orwell
The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle, hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or laborer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.
George Orwell
Never have ideas about children, and never have ideas for them.
George Orwell
And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.
George Orwell
... what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be told truthfully.
George Orwell
You're only a rebel from the waist downwards,' he told her.
George Orwell
Big Brother is watching you.
George Orwell
The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.
George Orwell
International football is the continuation of war by other means.
George Orwell
Sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.
George Orwell
Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? Has it ever occurred to you, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?
George Orwell
The choice before human beings, is not, as a rule , between good and evil but between two evils. You can let the Nazis rule the world : that is evil or you can overthrow them by war , which is also evil. There is no other choice before you, and whichever you choose you will not come out with clean hands.
George Orwell
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
George Orwell
Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death.
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
What is to be expected of them is not treachery, or physcial cowardice, but stupidity, unconscious sabotage, an infallible instinct for doing the wrong thing.
George Orwell
You would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity.
George Orwell
Of pain you could wish only one thing: that it should stop. Nothing in the world was so bad as physical pain. In the face of pain there are no heroes.
George Orwell
