❝ If liberty means anything at all,
it means the right to tell people
what they do not want to hear.

❝ All animals are equal,
but some animals are more equal than others.

from Animal Farm


❝ Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past.

❝ Reality exists in the human mind and nowhere else.

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

from 1984

George Orwell - A Final Warning

from the 2003 Television docudrama: 
George Orwell - A Life in Pictures.

The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love 
or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will 
be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy — everything.

- George Orwell -

from Nineteen Eighty-Four

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes
a revolutionary act.
