Truth Quote by George Orwell — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“It's always the women, and above all the young ones, who are the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

“To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings!”

“We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.”

“Perhaps a man really dies when his brain stops, when he loses the power to take in a new idea.”

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

“One wants to live, of course, indeed one only stays alive by virtue of the fear of death, but I think, as I thought then, that it is better to die violently and not too old.”

“I know certain truths about life.”

“The only ethical principle which has made science possible is that the truth shall be told all the time. If we do not penalize false statements made in error, we open up the way for false statements by intention. And a false statement of fact, made deliberately, is the most serious crime a scientist can commit.”

“I hear my silence talked of in every lane;”

“... the problem with being honest, he said, is that you're slow to realize that other people can lie.”

“A man can’t be always defending the truth; there must be a time to feed on it.”

“Life is made of moments. and choices. Not all of them matter, or have any lasting impact. Skipping class in favor of a taste of freedom, picking a prom dress because of the way it transforms you into a princess in the mirror. Even the nights you steal away from an open window, tiptoe silent to the end of the driveway, where darkened headlights and the pull of something unknown beckon. These are all small choices, really. Insignificant as soon as they’re made. Innocent.”
