ORW-001 · George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

S813 War is [functionally] Peace. Freedom is [functionally] Slavery. Ignorance is [functionally] Strength.

S814 The Party is watching you.

S815 Doublethink is by definition the directed power to deliberately hold knowledge of [order] and of [not-order] simultaneously.

S816 From control of the past comes control of the future. From control of the present comes control of the past.

S817 Freedom is the right to signal what is true.

S818 It is not that forbidden thought causes death — forbidden thought IS death.

S819 The Party's will is directed exclusively toward power itself.

S820 Directed power is not an instrument; it is an end.

S821 From lack of consciousness, never revolt. From lack of revolt, never become conscious.

S822 Orthodoxy is by definition: not deliberate thought; and not requiring deliberate thought.

S823 From wanting to keep a secret comes the structural requirement to deliberately not-know it yourself.

S824 There shall be meeting within the place of signal [the illuminated, surveilled place].
