All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
From George Orwell
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.
For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?
Society has always to demand a little more from human beings than it will get in practice.
It is also true that one can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one's own personality. Good prose is like a windowpane.
Enlightened people seldom or never possess a sense of responsibility.
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
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.
