لم يكن من المرغوب فيه أن يكون لدى عامة الشعب وعي سياسي قوي، فكل ما هو مطلوب منهم وطنية بدائية يمكن اللجوء إليها حينما يستلزم الأمر إقناعهم بقبول ساعات عمل أطول أو حصص أقل من السلع التموينية.
بل وحتى عندما كان ينتابهم شعور بالسخط، كما يحدث أحيانا، فإن سخطهم لم يكن ليفضي إلى شيء كونهم يعيشون بلا مبادئ عامة ، ولذلك كانوا يركزون غضبهم على تظلمات خاصة وقليلة الأهمية فالأخطار الكبرى لا تسترعي انتباههم.

George Orwell

لقد كان لافتقادهم للفهم فضل في جعلهم بمأمن من الجنون.
لقد كانوا ببساطة يبتلعون كل شيء ولم يكن ما يبتلعونه ليصيبهم بأي أذى لأنه لا يترك رواسب، بل يمر كما تمر حبة القمح في جوف طائر دون أن يهضمها.

George Orwell

A totalitarian society which succeeded in perpetuating itself would probably set us a schizophrenic system of thought, in which the laws of common sense held good in everyday life and in certain exact sciences, but could be disregarded by the politician, the historian, and the sociologist. Already there are countless people who would think it scandalous to falsify a scientific text-book, but would see nothing wrong in falsifying an historical fact.

Na bojnom polju, u mučilištu, na brodu koji tone, razlozi zbog kojih se boriš uvijek se zaborave jer se tijelo nadimlje sve dok ne ispuni cijeli tvoj svemir, pa čak i onda kad te nije paralizirao strah ili ne vrištiš od boli, život je od trenutka do trenutka, samo borba protiv gladi ili hladnoće ili sna, protiv pokvarena želuca ili zuba koji boli.

George Orwell

Upravujeme jazyk do konečné podoby, jakou bude mít, až už nikdo jinak mluvit nebude. Až skončíme, budou se to lidé jako ty muset celé znovu učit. Ty si asi myslíš, že naše hlavní práce spočívá ve vymýšlení nových slov. Vůbec ne. My slova ničíme - moře slov, stovky denně. Otesáváme jazyk až na kost. Jedenácté vydání nebude obsahovat ani jediné slovo, které by mohlo do roku 2050 zastarat.

The smell of her hair, the taste of her mouth, the feeling of her skin seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all round him. She had become a physical necessity.

I believe that on such an issue as this no one is or can be completely truthful. It is difficult to be certain about anything except what you have seen with your own eyes, and consciously or unconsciously everyone writes as a partisan
