A Month Of: This Day in History

On this day in 1949, George Orwell published 1984

This happens to be one of my favorite books and also happens to have an awesome opening line:

“It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.”

More excellent quotes from this tremendously fantastic read! I literally could go on and on with these, so here are just a few!

“War is Peace.

Freedom is Slavery.

Ignorance is Strength.”

“If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”

“We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness.”

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

“Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.”

and of course…

“Big Brother is watching you.”
