Famous quotes containing the word orwell:

    “The new grammar of race is constructed in a way that George Orwell would have appreciated, because its rules make some ideas impossible to express—unless, of course, one wants to be called a racist.”
    —Stephen Carter (b. 1954)

    “I doubt whether classical education ever has been or can be successfully carried out without corporal punishment.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “The moralist and the revolutionary are constantly undermining one another. Marx exploded a hundred tons of dynamite beneath the moralist position, and we are still living in the echo of that tremendous crash. But already, somewhere or other, the sappers are at work and fresh dynamite is being tamped in place to blow Marx at the moon. Then Marx, or somebody like him, will come back with yet more dynamite, and so the process continues, to an end we cannot foresee.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)
