The real test of character is how you treat someone who has no possibility of doing you any good.

George Orwell 848 quotes

One must choose between God and Man, and all "radicals" and "progressives", from the mildest liberal to the most extreme anarchist, have in effect chosen Man.

George Orwell 848 quotes

I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.

George Orwell 848 quotes

A totalitarian state is in ef...

A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened.

Right thinking will be rewarded, wrong thinking punished.

Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The Ministry of Peace concern...

The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental , nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink

George Orwell 848 quotes

Every record has been destroy...

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right.

George Orwell 848 quotes

Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.

George Orwell 848 quotes

It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. What counts is that we don't betray each other.

Truth becomes untruth if uttered by your enemy

George Orwell 848 quotes

Threats to freedom of speech,...

Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.

George Orwell 848 quotes

Totalitarianism, however, doe...

Totalitarianism, however, does not so much promise an age of faith as an age of schizophrenia. A society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud. Such a society, no matter how long it persists, can never afford to become either tolerant or intellectually stable.

George Orwell 848 quotes

Despotic governments can stand 'moral force' till the cows come home; what they fear is physical force.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The real division is not between conservatives and revolutionaries but between authoritarians and libertarians.
