Famous quotes by George Orwell:

"All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting."

"He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him."

"An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats."

"Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility."

"Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible."

"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection."

"Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear"

"Good writing is like a windowpane"

"To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others"

"We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm."

"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting."

"A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him."

"Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness."

"The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history."

"Serious sport is war minus the shooting."

"But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought."

"Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers."

"Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end."

"Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing."

"One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return."

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there
Inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window-shopping
But never stopping to buy
So, shed those dowdy feathers and fly
A little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl
Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf
A little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see

She moved south as a child
She moved it from the Jersey Shore
Said she remembers the ocean
But she don't recall much more
She lived a contagious youth
Still she swears she has no past
She said she don't take love
'Cause that high it never lasts
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgia Girl
She offers up fellowship
To those that come from broken homes
Yeah she laughs in the crowds
While her heart is all alone

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there
Inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window-shopping
But never stopping to buy
So, shed those dowdy feathers and fly
A little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin' of the someone you could be
Life is a reality
You can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf
A little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide
And, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see
A new Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window shopping
But never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers
And fly a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl
Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin'; of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down
From the shelf a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free

Or is it the clothes you wear?
You're always window shopping

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there -
inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try or is it the clothes you
wear?
You're always window shopping but never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly - a little bit

Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change
there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change
there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl
[Fade]
