"Nineteen Eighty-Four" Quotes by George Orwell

Here are selected quotes from Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, one of the best classic books.

- "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

- "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU."

- "Then the face of Big Brother faded away again and instead the three slogans of the Party stood out in bold capitals:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"

- "Whether he went on with the diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference. The Thought Police would get him just the same. He had committed— would still have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper— the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."
