"The life of an animal is misery..." - Quote by George Orwell

“He loved Big Brother.”

“All human relationships must be purchased with money.”

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.”

“There are no wild animals until man makes them so.”

“This past Thanksgiving, my father was at the farm, and I had all 11 dogs in the house with a father who never allowed dogs in the house. And he got up to leave the table and came back and Solomon was in his chair. And he says, "This dog is in my chair." And I said, "It's the other way around, you're sitting in his chair."”

“The chameleon, who is said to feed upon nothing but air, has of all animals the nimblest tongue.”

“It is a most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home.”

“I should like to know which is worse: to be ravished a hundred times by pirates, and have a buttock cut off, and run the gauntlet of the Bulgarians, and be flogged and hanged in an auto-da-fe, and be dissected, and have to row in a galley -- in short, to undergo all the miseries we have each of us suffered -- or simply to sit here and do nothing?' That is a hard question,' said Candide.”

“He who has not the spirit of this age, has all the misery of it.”
