Additional quotes by George Orwell

War damages, the fabric of civilisation not by the destruction it causes (the net effect of a war may even be to increase the productive capacity of the world as a whole) nor even by the slaughter of human beings, but by the stimulated hatred and dishonesty.

Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.

If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love.

You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves. - George Orwell
