George Orwell
“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
“This failed to happen, partly because of the impoverishment caused by a long series of wars and revolutions, partly because scientific and technical progress depended on the empirical habit of thought, which could not survive in a strictly regimented society. As a whole the world is more primitive today than it was fifty years ago.”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“Attention, comrades! We have glorious news for you. We have won the battle for production! Returns now completed of the output of all classes of consumption goods show that the standard of living has risen by no less than 20 per cent over the past year. All over Oceania this morning there were irrepressible spontaneous demonstrations when workers marched out of factories and offices and paraded through the streets with banners voicing their gratitude to Big Brother for the new, happy life which his wise leadership has bestowed upon us.”
George Orwell, 1984

Nick Harkaway
“found I didn’t want him to be cold, you see. I’m not religious. Well, you know my feelings on that: it’s one of the unkindnesses of modern life that there’s no excuse for it, any more.”
Nick Harkaway, Karla's Choice: A Novel of John le Carré's Circus

George Orwell
“The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator. But the woman sang so tunefully as to turn the dreadful rubbish into an almost pleasant sound.”
George Orwell, 1984
