From Orwell's 1984, Chapter 3:

'Smith!' screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. '6079 Smith W.! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower, please! That's better, comrade. Now stand at ease, the whole squad, and watch me.'

A sudden hot sweat had broken out all over Winston's body. His face remained completely inscrutable. Never show dismay! Never show resentment! A single flicker of the eyes could give you away.

All too believable, or unfreaking-believable, depending upon one's mood.

[Hawkeye's Girl]

All too believable, or unfreaking-believable, depending upon one's mood.

Precisely. Never trust the state.
