George Orwell quotes about
giving minorities politics
...in the negative part of Professor's Hayek's thesis there is a great deal of truth. It cannot be said too often - at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough - that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamt of.
reality skulls mind
We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.
deceit speaking truth universal
Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.
intelligent men intelligence
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
political-language decay chaos
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language... one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
autobiography trusted disgraceful
Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful.
