Top 5 quotes from George Orwell
"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
"Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
"He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future."
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stomping on a human face -- forever."
Top 5 quotes from Truth & Lies
"One deceit needs many others, and so the whole house is built in the air and must soon come to the ground."
"Truth sits upon the lips of dying men."
"All malice has injustice at it's end, an end achieved by violence or by fraud; while both are sins that earn the hate of heaven, since fraud belongs exclusively to man, God hates it more and, therefore, far below, the fraudulent are placed and suffer most."
"Most truths are so naked that people feel sorry for them and cover them up, at least a little bit."
"I don't want any yes-men around me. I want everybody to tell me the truth even if it costs them their jobs."
