"Whoever is winning at the moment will..." - Quote by George Orwell

“A Socialist United States of Europe seems to me the only worth-while political objective today”

“Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.”

“Nearly all creators of Utopia have resembled the man who has toothache, and therefore thinks happiness consists in not having toothache... Whoever tries to imagine perfection simply reveals his own emptiness.”

“Those who live in the best cliffs think they are better than us. That is always man's attitude when he has power.”

“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”

“The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use; of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.”

“The only way to see the value of a play is to see it acted.”

“Some good qualities are like the senses: Those who are entirely deprived of them can have no notion of them.”

“Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.”
