George Orwell — "I am not a pacifist."

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever."

"A people that has once been thoroughly purged of the desire for liberty will not regain it."

"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims... but accomplices."

"The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right all alon…"

"Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them."
