Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

Real journalism is publishing something that somebody else does not want published - the rest is just public relations.

The war is waged against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.

The mass of the rich and the poor are differentiated by their incomes and nothing else,and the average millionaire is only the average dishwasher dressed in a new suit.

You would not make the act of submission which is the price of sanity.

Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed- no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.

The Party is not interested in the overt act. The thought is all we care about.
