Animal Farm

 George Orwell
 

Important Quotations Explained

 
1. “Four legs good, two legs bad.”
 
 
2. Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tiding
Of the golden future time.

4. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
 
 
5. “If you have your lower animals to contend with,” he said, “we have our lower classes!”
