“The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed. Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”
George Orwell
“The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.”
George Orwell
“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.”
George Orwell
“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
George Orwell
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”
George Orwell

George Orwell
“Big Brother is watching you.”
George Orwell
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell
“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”
George Orwell
“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. 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. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”
George Orwell
