Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think. Orthodoxy - the state of the unconscious.

Where will the slogan "Freedom is slavery", if abolished the very concept of freedom?

Did you not understand that the death of the individual is not death? The party is immortal.

It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words. The main garbage accumulated in verbs and adjectives, but also nouns among hundreds and hundreds extra. Not only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. Well tell me why you need the word which is the opposite of the other? The word contains its opposite in itself. Take, for example, "hunger". If there is a word "hunger", why do you "bad"? "Nagold" no worse, even better, because it is the opposite, and "satiety" - no. Or shades and degrees of adjectives. "Good" - good for who? A "plus" eliminates the subjectivity. Again, if you need something stronger "plus" what is the point of having a set of vague useless words - "magnificent", "excellent", and so on? "Plus plus" covers those values, and if you want even more - "plusplus plus". Of course, we now use these forms, but in the final version of Newspeak there'll be nothing else. In the end, all concepts of good and bad will be described only six words, and in fact, two.

Statistics in the same fantasy as in fixed.

... How could you establish even the most obvious fact when there existed no record outside your own memory?

His mind was into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. Knowing not to know; to believe in their truthfulness, presenting deliberate lies; to adhere to both of the two opposing views, knowing that one excludes the other, and be strong in both; the logic to kill the logic, and to reject morality, proclaiming it; to believe that democracy is impossible and that the party was the guardian of democracy; to forget what you want to forget, and to recall in memory when needed, and again immediately forget, and, most importantly, to apply this process to the process - here's the subtlety: consciously overcome the consciousness and not be aware that doing self-hypnosis. And even the word "doublethink" do not understand the use of doublethink.

If the party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened - that, worse than torture or death.

When you can't refer to extraneous evidence, lose clarity, even the outline of your own life. You remember great events, but it is possible that they were not; remember details of the incident, but I can't feel it in the atmosphere; and there are empty spaces, long and not marked at all.

The future or the past - a time when thought is free, people differ from one another and do not live alone, time where the truth is the truth and nothing turns into fiction.
From the same era, the era of lonely, from the age of big Brother, from the age of doublethink - greetings!

He was the one. The past is dead, the future unimaginable. Is there any certainty that even one human creature now living was on his side? And how do you know that the dominion of the party will not last forever? And the answer stood in front of his eyes, the three slogans on the white face of the Ministry of truth:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
He took from his pocket twenty-five cents coin. Here, in tiny clear lettering, the same slogans were inscribed, and on the back of the head of big Brother. Even with coin followed you his opinion. On coins, on stamps, on the covers of books, on banners, on posters, on cigarette packet - everywhere. Everywhere you haunted by those eyes and enveloped the voice. In a dream or awake, working or eating, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or in bed - no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.

For a second they had exchanged an equivocal glance, and that was all. But even that was a memorable event for the person whose life is under the fortress of solitude.

To dissemble your feelings, to control your face, to do what others have all become instinct.
