The animals’ Commandment. The original version in the book was “All animals are equal.” The wording derives from Thomas Jefferson’s Preamble to the American Declaration of Independence.

QUOTATION: Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
