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."
