George Orwell

"All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force." -George Orwell

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself -- anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called." -George Orwell

"One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool." - George Orwell
