The consequences of every act are included in the act itself.

The people will believe what the media tells them they believe.

It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.

Sanity was statistical. It was merely a question of learning to think as they thought.

Some people have a knack, for example, of being able to tell when someone's lying to them. They may not know what the truth is, but they can tell when someone is trying to lead them astray or sell them something shady. I think he had that ability to an amazing degree. I also think he thought, without saying it explicitly, that you can convince a crowd of something that's not true more easily than you can one person at a time.

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.

Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.
