"In all the useful arts the world..." - Quote by George Orwell

“If there is hope, it lies in the proles.”

“Reality is inside the skull.”

“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.”

“Hope is the bedrock of this nation. The belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by all those men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.”

“For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.”

“The world is progressing, the future is bright and no one can change this general trend of history. We should carry on constant propaganda among the people on the facts of world progress and the bright future ahead so that they will build their confidence in victory.”

“His judgement demonstrates that one can be a genius and understand nothing of an art that is not one's own.”

“Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious.”

“The painter or draftsman ought to be solitary, in order that the well-being of the body not sap the vigour of the mind.”
