 "Doublethink" means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them |
| "War is Peace" "Freedom is Slavery" "Ignorance is Strength |
| (Doublethink) to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed |
| (Mankind) is not likely to salvage civilization unless he can evolve a system of good and evil which is independent of heaven and hell |
| 1984 |
| A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion. |
| A liberal is a power worshipper without the power. |
| A man receiving charity always hates his benefactor- it is a fixed characteristic of human nature |
| A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him |
| Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket. |
| All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. |
| All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome. |

| All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand. |
| An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats. |
