Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy
finds himself silenced with surprising
effectiveness. (George Orwell)
In some ways she was far more acute than
Winston, and far less susceptible to Party
propaganda. Once when he happened in some
connection to mention the war against Eurasia,
she startled him by saying casually that in her
opinion the war was not happening. The rocket
bombs which fell daily on London were probably
fired by the Government of Oceania itself, "just
to keep the people frightened." -- George
Orwell, 1984

sound truthful and murder respectable, and to
give an appearance of solidity to pure
wind."--George Orwell
"Newspeak was the official language ... The
purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a
medium of expression for the world-view and
mental habits ... but to make all other modes of
thought impossible. It was intended that when
Newspeak had been adopted once and for all and
Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought should
be literally unthinkable." Nineteen Eighty-Four,
George Orwell. (Taken from
Martin Walker article)
Double think means the power
of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's
mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.
The party intellectual knows in which direction
his memories must be altered, therefore he knows
that he is playing tricks with reality; but by
the exercise of DOUBLE THINK, he also satisfies
himself that reality is not violated." Orwell
George Orwell once pointed out that the first
job of a leader is to

All animals are equal, but some animals are more

constant struggle. --George Orwell

sound truthful and murder respectable, and to
give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
On the whole human beings want to be good, but
not to good and not quite all the time.

controls the present controls the past.
While the Pobble was in the water some
unidentified creatures came and ate his toes
off, and when he got home his aunt remarked:
It's a fact the whole world knows, That Pobbles
are happier without their toes, which is funny
because it has a meaning, and one might even say
a political significance. For the whole theory
of authoritarian government is summed up in the
statement that Pobbles are happier without their
toes.
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a
swill bucket.
But if thought corrupts language, language can
also corrupt thought.
No one can look back on his schooldays and say
with truth that they were altogether unhappy.
Many people genuinely do not want to be saints,
and it is probable that some who achieve or
aspire to sainthood have never felt much
temptation to be human beings.
The essence of being human is that one does not
seek perfection.
"In George Orwell's
1984 one of EngSoc's three "truths" was
"Ignorance Is Strength." Have you ever noticed
how ignorant people have a great deal of
strength in their convictions? Not being able to
think is, at least subconsciously, terrifying.
Unable to arrive at ideas and understandings on
one's own, every idea must be held onto like a
life preserver in the sea beside a sinking ship.
Every idea is as important as every other idea
because there is no mechanism to judge between
them."Authority"
(the Church-School-State Establishment) is
strengthened by ignorance as well. The ignorant
must rely on Authority for opinions. This keeps
Authority on top. The "conspiracy" has a vested
interest in maintaining this druggie-like
dependence on Authority. It is a very short
"hokey-pokey" little step from authoritarianism
to totalitarianism."----Jerry
E. Smith
