More From George Orwell

Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of god and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to itself...as existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'i'; as developed to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; and as enjoyment, it is blessedness.
Love Struggle Heaven
When i was young, i had to choose between the life of being and the life of doing. and i leapt at the latter like a trout to a fly. but each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. or wonder who, after all, you are.
Space Trout Deeds
To despair over one's sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. it wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. no, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself; it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin.
Listening Despair Doe
Consequences are unpitying. our deeds carry their terrible consequences, quite apart from any fluctuations that went before—consequences that are hardly ever confined to ourselves. and it is best to fix our minds on that certainty, instead of considering what may be the elements of excuse for us.

In short, my vision of a responsible free society is one in which we discourage evil, but do not prohibit it. we make our children and students aware of the consequences of drug abuse and other forms of irresponsible behavior. but after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. in a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. they must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly

When you go into a fast food restaurant, you may just think about how good your meal tastes while you're eating it. but you're not thinking about all the consequences that come from that one purchase - the consequences for your body, the consequences for supporting this company and how it's treating it workers, all the way back to the farm where the potatoes were grown, or the ranch where the cattle were raised.

Similar Quotes
If you look at capitalism and patriarchy, they're both such hierarchical, competitive, oneupmanship systems. they've trained us all [to think] that power means having all the goods or having the most money or having the most attention or having the most fame. that's not the power that interests me. actually, the deconstruction of that power is what interests me.
Mean Thinking Looks
We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. there is no learning without having to pose a question. and a question requires doubt. people search for certainty. but there is no certainty. people are terrified — how can you live and not know? it is not odd at all. you only think you know, as a matter of fact. and most of your actions are based on incomplete knowledge and you really don’t know what it is all about, or what the purpose of the world is, or know a great deal of other things. it is possible to live and not know.

To get others to come into our ways of thinking, we must go over to theirs; and it is necessary to follow, in order to lead.

I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there's a package there that's very, very good.
