George Orwell
  • Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

  • As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.

  • Society has always seemed to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.

  • 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.

  • War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
