"All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others."
Animals
"At 50, everyone has the face he deserves."
Age
"For a creative writer possession of the 'truth'' is less important than emotional sincerity."
Writing
"He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future."
Time
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Liberty
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face -- forever."
Miscellaneous
"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.'""
War & Peace
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
War & Peace
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
Politics
"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."
Power
"Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words: it is war minus the shooting."
Sports
"Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."
Truth & Lies
"The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them."
Patriotism
"To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle."
