George Orwell
“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell, 1984

Ayn Rand
“Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

George Orwell
“A human being is primarily a bag for putting food into; the other functions and faculties may be more godlike, but in point of time they come afterwards. A man dies and is buried, and all his words and actions are forgotten, but the food he has eaten lives after him in the sound or rotten bones of his children. I think it could be plausibly argued that changes of diet are more important than changes of dynasty or even of religion....Yet it is curious how seldom the all-importance of food is recognized. You see statues everywhere to politicians, poets, bishops, but none to cooks or bacon-curers or market gardeners.”
George Orwell, The Road To Wigan Pier: (Authorized Orwell Edition): A Mariner Books Classic

George Orwell
“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
George Orwell, Why I Write

George Orwell
“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”
George Orwell
