George Orwell
“The average citizen of Oceania never sets eyes on a citizen of either Eurasia or Eastasia, and he is forbidden the knowledge of foreign languages. If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“If you have no money, men won't care for you, women won't love you; won't, that is, care for you or love you the last little bit that matters.”
George Orwell, Why I Write

George Orwell
“What now strikes as remarkable about the new moneyed class of the nineteenth century is their complete irresponsibility;they see everything in terms of individual success, with hardly any consciousness that the community exists.”
George Orwell

George Orwell
“Only because I prefer a positive to a negative. In this game that we're playing, we can't win. Some kinds of failure are better than other kinds, that's all.”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection … that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals.”
George Orwell
