George Orwell

The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.

Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Don’t tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.

Just because an animal is large, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.

Cat: a pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronizes human beings.

Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.

One dog barks at something. And a hundred dogs bark at the sound.

The more I learn about people, the better I like my dog.

I’d like to devote about three years to the elimination of the cow. There’s not reason in the world why the chemist can’t discover the cow’s secret of converting vegetation into dairy products. And there’s less reason why the chemist can’t do a better job of it after he learns how.

It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.

Are cats lazy? Well, more power to them if they are. Which one of us has not entertained the dream of doing just as he likes, when and how he likes, and as much as he likes?

Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to.

The more I know about people, the more I like dogs. I simply like animals.
