“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
I think that book was intended to be a warning wrapped in entertainment. Who would have guessed it would be used an an operational handbook?
