Quotes

  • "Four legs good, two legs bad."
Simple: Anything with four legs is good, anything with two legs is bad
  • "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others."
What it means: This is impossible, some animals (people) cannot be more equal than others. Either they are equal or not. This is a paradox.
