4. Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
5. Political chaos is connected with the decay of language… one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
6. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
7. All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
8. Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.
