George Orwell Skull Quotations

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

Reality is inside the skull.

We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull.

Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.

All nationalistic distinctions - all claims to be better than somebody else because you have a different-shaped skull or speak a different dialect - are entirely spurious, but they are important so long as people believe in them.
