 Four legs good, two legs bad. |
| Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. |
| Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear |
| Good writing is like a windowpane |
| Happiness can exist only in acceptance. |
| He is a man of thirty-five, but looks fifty. He is bald, has varicose veins and wears spectacles, or would wear them if his only pair were not chronically lost. If things are normal with him, he will be suffering from malnutrition, but if he has recently had a lucky streak, he will be suffering from a hangover. At present it is half past eleven in the morning, and according to his schedule he should have started work two hours ago; but even if he had made any serious effort to start he would have been frustrated by the almost continuous ringing of the telephone bell, the yells of the baby, the rattle of an electric drill out in the street, and the heavy boots of his creditors clumping up the stairs. The most recent interruption was the arrival of the second post, which brought him two circulars and an income tax demand printed in red. Needless to say this person is a writer. |
| He was an embittered atheist, the sort of atheist who does not so much disbelieve in God as personally dislike Him. |
| He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future conquers the past. |
| He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future. |
| However true the scapegoat theory may be in general terms, it does not explain why the Jews rather than some other minority group are picked on, nor does it make clear what they are the scapegoat for. |
| I sometimes think that the price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt. |
| I'm fat, but I'm thin inside... there's a thin man inside every fat man. |
| If a man meets with injustice, it is not required that he shall not be roused to meet it; but if he is angry after he has had time to think upon it, that is sinful. The flame is not wring, but the coals are. |
| If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. |
| If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics --a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage --surely that proves that you are in the right? |
