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."

Updated: 02 May 2013

Film adaptation of George Orwell's dystopian science-fiction novel for British television and originally broadcast on December 12th, 1954, as a part of BBC Sunday-Night Theatre (Season 5, Episode 50). It was adapted by by Nigel Kneale and directed by Rudolph Cartier. The production proved to be hugely controversial, with questions asked in Parliament's House of Commons, and many viewer complaints over its supposed subversive nature and horrific content. The role of Winston Smith was taken by Peter Cushing, one of his first major roles. He went on to become a star, as would his co-star Donald Pleasence, who played Syme. Other cast members included Yvonne Mitchell as Julia, André Morell as O'Brien, Wilfrid Brambell in two roles, and Roy Oxley, a member of the BBC design department, as the face of Big Brother. As relevant today (NSA, Prism, Greenwald, Snowden, Obama, etc.) as ever. Scenes from 1984, along with the 1954 adaptation of Animal Farm, were featured in "The Two Winstons", the final episode of Simon Schama's program A History of Britain. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0174444 CHANGE BEFORE GOING PRODUCTIONS: http://www.cbgp.com http://www.facebook.com/changebeforegoingproductions http://www.twitter.com/cbgproductions http://www.gplus.to/changebeforegoing http://www.pinterest.com/cbgproductions Feature films added regularly to the channel.

Updated: 27 Jan 2014

George Packer (born August 13, 1960) is an American journalist, novelist, and playwright. He is perhaps best known for his writings for The New Yorker about U.S. foreign policy and for his related book The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq. Packer was born in Santa Clara, California.[1] Packer's parents, Nancy (née Huddleston) and Herbert Packer, were both academics at Stanford University; his maternal grandfather was George Huddleston, a congressman from Alabama.[2] His sister, Ann Packer, is also a writer. His father was Jewish and his mother was from a Christian background.[3] Packer graduated from Yale College, where he lived in Calhoun College, in 1982,[4] and served in the Peace Corps in Togo.[5] His essays and articles have appeared in Boston Review, The Nation, World Affairs, Harper's, The New York Times, and The New Yorker, among other publications. Packer was a columnist for Mother Jones and has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since May 2003.[6] Packer was a Holtzbrinck Fellow Class of Fall 2009 at the American Academy in Berlin. His book The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq analyzes the events that led to the 2003 invasion of Iraq and reports on subsequent developments in that country, largely based on interviews with ordinary Iraqis. He was a supporter of the Iraq war. He was a finalist for the 2004 Michael Kelly Award. He is married to Laura Secor and was previously married to Michele Millon. Books The Village of Waiting (1988).

No, Obama did not come directly out and tell us that war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength so much as he embodied those ideas in a nuanced, measured performance that inspired the political pundits like Chris Matthews to wax poetic like a Theatre critic praising and aging stage actor who was able to find the old magic one last time.

Top Bobby Vinton, 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
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

Top Collective Soul, Georgia Girl

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

Top Seekers, 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
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
