"Between pigs and human beings there was..." - Quote by George Orwell

“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.”

“We have become too civilized to grasp the obvious. For the truth is very simple. To survive you often have to fight, and to fight you have to dirty yourself. War is evil, and it is often the lesser evil. Those who take the sword perish by the sword, and those who don't take the sword perish by smelly diseases.”

“There is a minority of gifted, willfuf people who are determined to live their own lives to the end, and writers belong in this class.”

“No opinion is worth burning your neighbor for.”

“Even a believer in nonviolence has to say between two combatants which is less bad or whose cause is just.”

“Every little advantage is of great moment when men have to come to blows.”

“The poorest people are the sweetest people.”

“Without books, we might just melt into the airwaves and be just another set of blips.”

“It is for the benefit of mankind to mitigate the horrors of war as much as possible.”
