BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
Being in a minority, even a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.
To die hating them, that was freedom.
Ba Sing Se // 1984
