Happy birthday to George Orwell (1903-1950), English novelist, essayist and journalist famous for his novels Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-four (1949), the latter a profound anti-utopian novel that examines the dangers of totalitarian rule. 
"Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood."
"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."
"In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
"War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength."
"Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it."
