Orwell

Famous quotes containing the word orwell:

“The child thinks of growing old as an almost obscene calamity, which for some mysterious reason will never happen to itself. All who have passed the age of thirty are joyless grotesques, endlessly fussing about things of no importance and staying alive without, so far as the child can see, having anything to live for. Only child life is real life.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
