5 quotes Napoleon Napoleon There will be no more meetings, no more endless debates. From now on, a special committee of pigs will decide all aspects on the farm.
Napoleon Snowball's sabotage is the reason for our shortage of food... but he must have inside help. Which of you is in league with him?! I will find you out! The guilty will have nowhere to hide! Because of this sabotage, the hens will have to surrender their eggs for sale in the market.
Napoleon (when the hens refuse to surrender their eggs.)
All hens are CRIMINALS! No hen will be fed! Any animal seen giving food to a hen will be punished... by DEATH!
Napoleon No, not Animal Farm. I have decided we should revert to our proper name of Manor Farm.

Napoleon, I want to see my puppies.
Napoleon No Jessie, you can't see your puppies.
But... they're my babies.
If you were thinking clearly, then you would be pleased at the special education that we're going to give them. You surely don't want to disadvantage your own puppies. Do you?
No.
Good.
No, I don't.
Well, off you go then.
They still need their mother.
Hhmm. Her sadness will spread to the other animals.
Napoleon Mmm, not if we distract them.
Yes.
Animals, the wisest of us all has words which must now be spoken.
Napoleon These words came to Old Major in a dream which must now be heard.
My friends, I do not think I will be with you for many days more. I've had a long life, and now it is my duty to pass on to you such as I understand of the nature of our lives. Animalkind is born to a miserable, laborious and short existence. We are given only just enough food as will sustain the breath in our bodies for the work we do. And when our usefulness has come to an end, we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. [several animals cry out "NO!"] Yes! And who, pray, is responsible for our suffering? Huh? Hmm? Man! Man is our enemy!
Napoleon Friends... Snowball is a traitor and a criminal!
But he was a brave fighter.
Napoleon Bravery is not enough! Loyalty is more important!
You see how clever Napoleon has been, my friends? Of course he's not against the windmill; in fact, it was his own idea. He opposed it to flush out Snowball for the traitor he is. Tactics, friends.
