“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”
― George Orwell, 1984
This is why I love FR so much!
You immediately got my reference and enlarged upon it. I doubt that if I had posted the same remark on any other site, that I would have gotten a response like yours.
Thanks! :-)
