  • War is Peace; Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength.
  • Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it and wiser than the one that comes after it.
  • 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.
  • But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
  • Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accepting both of them.
  • Until they become conscious, they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled, they cannot become conscious.

  • Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.
  • The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
  • It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. 
  • Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one.
