George OrwellThinkers

50 (age) is the age at which every man has the face he deserves.

An Action is not a thing that can be held to be good or bad on its own merits, but only according to who does it. All atrocities change their moral color when committed by 'our' side.

Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill-bucket for the swine that is the public.

Art is always propaganda even if not all propaganda is always art.

Art is always propaganda.

Atrocity is apt to change its moral color when committed by 'our' side.

Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful.

Awareness is difficult. To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.

Beauty is meaningless until it is shared.

Being understood is our primary desire. We do not so much want to be loved as to be understood.

Bias is something we should keep tabs on in ourselves. The more one is conscious of one's bias, the more chance one has of acting without sacrificing one's aesthetic and intellectual integrity.
