George
Orwell
1984
by George Orwell
from SparkNotes
Wikipedia:
1984
Along
with Aldous
Huxley's Brave
New World,
and Ray
Bradbury's Fahrenheit
451, it is
among the most
famous and cited dystopias
in literature.
The
term "Orwellian"
has come to describe
actions or
organizations
reminiscent of the
totalitarian society
depicted in the
novel, and the
phrase "Big
Brother is
watching" has
come to mean any act
of surveillance that
is perceived as
invasive.

of 1984

Character in George
Orwell's Novel 1984)

George
Orwell Quotes
All
animals are equal,
but some animals are
more equal than
others.
All
political thinking
for years past has
been vitiated in the
same way. People can
foresee the future
only when it
coincides with their
own wishes, and the
most grossly obvious
facts can be ignored
when they are
unwelcome.
All
the war-propaganda,
all the screaming
and lies and hatred,
comes invariably
from people who are
not fighting.
As
I write, highly
civilized human
beings are flying
overhead, trying to
kill me.
Big
Brother is watching
you.
But
if thought corrupts
language, language
can also corrupt
thought.
Doublethink
means the power of
holding two
contradictory
beliefs in one's
mind simultaneously,
and accepting both
of them.
War
is peace. Freedom is
slavery. Ignorance
is strength.
During
times of universal
deceit, telling the
truth becomes a
revolutionary act.
Each
generation imagines
itself to be more
intelligent than the
one that went before
it, and wiser than
the one that comes
after it.
Early
in life I had
noticed that no
event is ever
correctly reported
in a newspaper.
Political
language... is
designed to make
lies sound truthful
and murder
respectable, and to
give an appearance
of solidity to pure
wind.
Enlightened
people seldom or
never possess a
sense of
responsibility.
Every
war when it comes,
or before it comes,
is represented not
as a war but as an
act of self-defense
against a homicidal
maniac.
Freedom
is the freedom to
say that two plus
two make four. If
that is granted, all
else follows.
Freedom
is the right to tell
people what they do
not want to hear.
Good
writing is like a
windowpane.
If
you want a vision of
the future, imagine
a boot stamping on a
human face -
forever.
In
our age there is no
such thing as
'keeping out of
politics.' All
issues are political
issues, and politics
itself is a mass of
lies, evasions,
folly, hatred and
schizophrenia.
War
is a way of
shattering to
pieces... materials
which might
otherwise be used to
make the masses too
comfortable and...
too intelligent.
In
our time political
speech and writing
are largely the
defense of the
indefensible.
It
is almost
universally felt
that when we call a
country democratic
we are praising it;
consequently, the
defenders of every
kind of regime claim
that it is a
democracy, and fear
that they might have
to stop using the
word if it were tied
down to any one
meaning.
Language
ought to be the
joint creation of
poets and manual
workers.
Myths
which are believed
in tend to become
true.
War
is war. The only
good human being is
a dead one.
Nationalism
is power hunger
tempered by
self-deception.
No
advance in wealth,
no softening of
manners, no reform
or revolution has
ever brought human
equality a
millimeter nearer.
No
one can look back on
his schooldays and
say with truth that
they were altogether
unhappy.
Not
to expose your true
feelings to an adult
seems to be
instinctive from the
age of seven or
eight onwards.
Oceania
was at war with
Eurasia; therefore
Oceania had always
been at war with
Eurasia.
Patriotism
is usually stronger
than class hatred,
and always stronger
than
internationalism.
People
sleep peaceably in
their beds at night
only because rough
men stand ready to
do violence on their
behalf.
Political
chaos is connected
with the decay of
language... one can
probably bring about
some improvement by
starting at the
verbal end.
Power
is not a means, it
is an end. One does
not establish a
dictatorship in
order to safeguard a
revolution; one
makes the revolution
in order to
establish the
dictatorship.
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.
Sometimes
the first duty of
intelligent men is
the restatement of
the obvious.
The
best books... are
those that tell you
what you know
already.
If
liberty means
anything at all, it
means the right to
tell people what
they do not want to
hear.
The
nationalist not only
does not disapprove
of atrocities
committed by his own
side, but he has a
remarkable capacity
for not even hearing
about them.
The
quickest way to end
a war is to lose it.
The
very concept of
objective truth is
fading out of the
world. Lies will
pass into history.
There
are some ideas so
wrong that only a
very intelligent
person could believe
in them.
War
against a foreign
country only happens
when the moneyed
classes think they
are going to profit
from it.
We
may find in the long
run that tinned food
is a deadlier weapon
than the
machine-gun.
What
can you do against
the lunatic who is
more intelligent
than yourself, who
gives your arguments
a fair hearing and
then simply persists
in his lunacy?
We
have now sunk to a
depth at which the
restatement of the
obvious is the first
duty of intelligent
men.
Whoever
is winning at the
moment will always
seem to be
invincible.
Winston
could not definitely
remember a time when
his country had not
been at war.
Who
controls the past
controls the future.
Who controls the
present controls the
past.
