Just some quotes:
"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?
Has it ever occurred to your, Winston, that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now?
The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinkingnot needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."
"Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."
"The citizen of Oceania is not allowed to know anything of the tenets of the other two philosphies, but he is taught to execrate them as barbarous outrages upon morality and common sense. Actually, the three philosophies are barely distinguishable
"
And my very favorite:
"It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the sameeverywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another's existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the samepeople who had never learned to think but were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world."
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Socialist party of the United States of America, with their leader, John F. Kerry.
