George Orwell quotes

Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.
George Orwell

lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun.
George Orwell

arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?
George Orwell

pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it. Objectively the pacifist is
pro-Nazi.
George Orwell

England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own
nationality.
George Orwell
