"I understand HOW. I do not understand..." - Quote by George Orwell

“When I see a policeman with a club beating a man on the ground, I don't have to ask whose side I'm on.”

“Tragedy, he precieved, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.”

“It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever gets near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propaganda tours.”

“History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days.”

“One has no right to love or hate anything if one has not acquired a thorough knowledge of its nature. Great love springs from great knowledge of the beloved object, and if you know it but little you will be able to love it only a little or not at all.”

“I didn't get how big it was until I went home, turned on the television and saw it on all the news, and later that night on the front pages of all the newspapers. Then I got it.”

“Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself”

“The farther you go, the less you know.”

“What does reason know? Reason only knows what it has succeeded in learning.”
