"It was not by making yourself heard..." - Quote by George Orwell

“If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies. The sealed world in which he lives would be broken, and the fear, hatred and self-righteousness on which his morale depends might evaporate.”

“I'm fat, but I'm thin inside... there's a thin man inside every fat man.”

“To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence.”

“It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all.”

“Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seeds of rapacious licence and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.”

“There is, in fact, no reason to believe that any given natural phenomenon, however marvelous it may seem today, will remain forever inexplicable. Soon or late the laws governing the production of life itself will be discovered in the laboratory, and man may set up business as a creator on his own account. The thing, indeed, is not only conceivable; it is even highly probable.”

“The sane would do no good if they made themselves mad to help madmen.”

“To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity.”

“An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.”
