Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
» More quotes about: Contradiction
FacebookTwitter
Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.

Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.
» More quotes about: Language
FacebookTwitter
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
» More quotes about: Language
FacebookTwitter
The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears, and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.

FacebookTwitter
The existence of good bad literature - the fact that one can be amused or excited or even moved by a book that one's intellect simply refuses to take seriously - is a reminder that art is not the same thing as cerebration.
» More quotes about: Literature

Political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.
» More quotes about: Politics
FacebookTwitter
Power-worship blurs political judgment because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible.
» More quotes about: Power
FacebookTwitter
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
