My Favorite George Orwell Quotes

I was thinking about George Orwell yesterday and how he lived through two world wars and an economic depression so I relate to a lot of what he writes about due to living in what I call a depression (not a great recession) and two major wars being fought in two separate countries at the same time right now in the year 2010. He wrote his famous book "1984" in the year 1949 and yet it could have been written last year it is so relevant to our times as well as his various quotes.
I thought I would list some of my favorite quotes written by him over the years and in no particular order here they are:

1. All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome.

2. Big Brother is watching you.

3. But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.

4. Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.

5. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

6.In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

7. The atom bombs are piling up in the factories, the police are prowling through the cities, the lies are streaming from the loudspeakers, but the earth is still going round the sun.

8. To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization.

9. War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.

10. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
