George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmMan serves the interests of no creature except himself.
MenschenGeorge Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmThe creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmFreiheit ist die Freiheit zu sagen, dass zwei plus zwei vier ist. Wenn das gewährt ist, folgt alles weitere.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
FreiheitGeorge Orwell in 1984Krieg ist Frieden; Freiheit ist Sklaverei; Unwissenheit ist Stärke.
War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.
George Orwell in 1984Einige der Tiere erinnerten sich - oder dachten, sie erinnerten sich - daran, dass das Sechste Gebot verfügte: 'Kein Tier darf ein anderes Tier töten.' Und obwohl es niemanden interessierte, es bei der Anhörung der Schweine oder Hunde zu erwähnen, hatte man das Gefühl, dass die Tötungen, die stattgefunden hatten, nicht damit übereinstimmten.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmDie Menschen hassten die Tierfarm jetzt nicht weniger, da sie florierte. Tatsächlich hassten sie sie mehr denn je.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmDas ganze Jahr über arbeiteten die Tiere wie Sklaven. Aber sie waren glücklich in ihrer Arbeit; sie gönnten sich keine Mühe oder Opfer, wohl wissend, dass alles, was sie taten, zum Nutzen ihrer selbst und derer ihrer Art war, die nach ihnen kommen würden, und nicht für ein Rudel müßiger, diebischer Menschen.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmDie Tiere waren glücklich, wie sie es sich nie für möglich gehalten hatten. Jeder Schluck Futter war ein akutes positives Vergnügen, jetzt, da es wirklich ihr eigenes Futter war, das von ihnen selbst und für sich selbst hergestellt und nicht von einem widerwilligen Meister an sie verteilt wurde.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmAlle Menschen sind Feinde. Alle Tiere sind Kameraden.
All men are enemies. All animals are comrades.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal Farm1. Alles, was auf zwei Beinen geht, ist ein Feind.

3. Kein Tier soll Kleider tragen.
4. Kein Tier soll in einem Bett schlafen.
5. Kein Tier soll Alkohol trinken.
6. Kein Tier soll ein anderes Tier töten.

3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.
George Orwell in Farm der Tiere - Animal FarmLoving someone always requires you to not love others.
