• In our time, political speech and
  writing are largely the defense of the
  indefensible. Things like the continuance of
  British rule in India, the Russian purges and
  deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on
  Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by
  arguments which are too brutal for most people to
  face, and which do not square with the professed
  aims of the political parties. Thus political
  language has to consist largely of euphemism,
  question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.

• Defenseless villages are bombarded from the
  air, the inhabitants driven out into the
  countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts
  set on fire with incendiary bullets this is
  called pacification. Millions of peasants are
  robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the
  roads with no more than they can carry this is
  called transfer of population or rectification of
  frontiers. People are imprisoned for years
  without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or
  sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps
  this is called elimination of unreliable
  elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants
  to name things without calling up mental pictures
  of them.

• In France it is rude to let a
  conversation drop in England it is rash to keep
  it up. No one there will blame you for silence.
  When you have not opened your mouth for three
  years, they will think "This Frenchman is a nice
  quiet fellow." Be modest. An Englishman will say,
  "I have a little house in the country" when he
  invites you to stay with him you will discover
  that the little house is a place with three
  hundred bedrooms. If you are a world
  tennis-champion, say, "Yes, I don't play too
  badly." If you have crossed the Atlantic alone in
  a small boat, say, "I do a little sailing."
