"That rifle hanging on the wall of..." - Quote by George Orwell

“The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.”

“A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.”

“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

“The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.”

“Democracy is not a static thing. It is an everlasting march.”

“The fundamental principle of our constitution ... enjoins the sense of command, duty that the will of the majority shall prevail.”

“[Liberty] is a choreand a long-distance race, quite solitary, quite exhausting.”

“We need the tonic of wildness.”

“Wild sings the bird of the heart in the forests of our lives.”
