Additional quotes by George Orwell

To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available.

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

If you can feel that staying human is worth while, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them.

Now he had recognized himself as a dead man it became important to stay alive as long as possible. - George Orwell
