George Orwell
“Every Joke is a Tiny Revolution”
George Orwell, An Age Like This: 1920-1940
tags: humor

George Orwell
“To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!”
George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell
“Freedom of the Press,
if it means anything at all,
means the freedom
to criticize and oppose”
George Orwell

Lao Tzu
“Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
avoid what others avoid?
How ridiculous!

Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don't care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.

Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about,
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharp;
I alone am dull.
Other people have purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind.

I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother's breasts.”
Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching

George Orwell
“A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.”
George Orwell
