More From George Orwell
- "War is a way of shattering to pieces… materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and… too intelligent."
- "We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun."
- "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 In Happiness
- "Unquestionably, it is possible to do without happiness; it is done involuntarily by nineteen-twentieths of mankind."― John Stuart Mill
- "Happiness isn’t getting what you want, it’s wanting what you got."― Garth Brooks
- "I see nothing wrong with the human trait to desire. In fact, I consider it integral to our success mechanism. Becoming attached to what we desire is what causes the trouble. If you must have it in order to be happy, then you are denying the happiness of the here and now."― Peter McWilliams
