Animal Farm (George Orwell)

Quotes from Animal Farm by George Orwell:

  • All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
  • Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.
  • Man serves the interests of no creature except himself.
  • Let's face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.
  • If liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
  • Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure!
  • Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than just ribbons?
  • Windmill or no windmill,  life would go on as it had always gone on - that is, badly.
  • Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers.
