Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.

George Orwell 848 quotes

There, comrades, is the answer...

There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word-- Man

George Orwell 848 quotes

In a town like London there ar...

In a town like London there are always plenty of not quite certifiable lunatics walking the streets, and they tend to gravitate towards bookshops, because a bookshop is one of the few places where you can hang about for a long time without spending any money.

George Orwell 848 quotes

By the time you have perfected...

By the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The paperweight was the room he was in, and the coral was Julia's life and his own, fixed in a sort of eternity at the heart of the crystal.

George Orwell 848 quotes

And it is a great thing to die...

And it is a great thing to die in your own bed, though it is better still to die in your boots.

George Orwell 848 quotes

Apparently nothing will ever t...

Apparently nothing will ever teach these people that the other 99 percent of the population exist.

George Orwell 848 quotes

There were times when the fact...

There were times when the fact of impending death seemed as palpable as the bed they lay on, and they would cling together with a sort of despairing sensuality, like a damned soul grasping at his last morsel of pleasure when the clock is within five minutes of striking. But there were also times when they had the illusion not only of safety but of permanence.

I have no wish to take life, not even human life

George Orwell 848 quotes

For a second, two seconds, the...

For a second, two seconds, they had exchanged an equivocal glance, and that was the end of the story. But even that was a memorable event, in the locked loneliness in which one had to live.

George Orwell 848 quotes

But the proles, if only they c...

But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? And yet --!

George Orwell 848 quotes

It was given out that the anim...

It was given out that the animals there practised cannibalism, tortured one another with red-hot horseshoes, and had their females in common. This was what came of rebelling against the laws of Nature, Frederick and Pilkington said.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The human beings did not hate ...

The human beings did not hate Animal Farm any less now that it was prospering; indeed, they hated it more than ever.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The animals were happy as they...

The animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The past was erased, the erasu...

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.

George Orwell 848 quotes

I had the lonely child's habit...

I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.

George Orwell 848 quotes

If you have no money, men won'...

If you have no money, men won't care for you, women won't love you; won't, that is, care for you or love you the last little bit that matters.

George Orwell 848 quotes

High sentiments always win in ...

High sentiments always win in the end. The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

George Orwell 848 quotes

A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into.

George Orwell 848 quotes

The relative freedom which we ...

The relative freedom which we enjoy depends of public opinion. The law is no protection. Governments make laws, but whether they are carried out, and how the police behave, depends on the general temper in the country. If large numbers of people are interested in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it; if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them.
