 The quickest way to end a war is to lose it.

 The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

 There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.

 There are some situations from which one can only escape by acting like a devil or a madman.

 There could hardly be a town in the South of England where you could throw a brick without hitting the niece of a bishop.

 There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.

 They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening

 This is a kind of Orwellian scenario of attempting to deprive a people of a sense of past and a sense of community on which it depends and to rewrite history,

 This kind of thing is not a good symptom.

 Throughout recorded time... there have been three kinds of people in the world, the High, the Middle, and the Low. They have been subdivided in many ways, they have borne countless different names, and their relative numbers, as well as their attitude towards one another, have varied from age to age: but the essential structure of society has never altered. Even after enormous upheavals and seemingly irrevocable changes, the same pattern has always reasserted itself, just as a gyroscope will always return to equilibrium, however far it is pushed one way or the other. The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable.

 To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armor, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.

 To accept an unorthodoxy is always to inherit unresolved contradictions

 To accept civilization as it is practically means accepting decay.

 To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others

 To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle
