Letter "G" » George Orwell Quotes
«War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.»
«Big Brother is watching you.»
«Throughout recorded time... there have been three kinds of people in the world, the High, the Middle, and the Low. They have been subdivided in many ways, they have borne countless different names, and their relative numbers, as well as their attitude towards one another, have varied from age to age: but the essential structure of society has never altered.

The aims of these three groups are entirely irreconcilable.»
