“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“You are a slow learner, Winston.”
“How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”
“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”
― George Orwell, 1984

“Stupidity was as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain.”
― George Orwell, 1984

George Orwell was a genius at political perception and human psychology. From what I understand, he learned it the hard way.

I looked up your last quote and found it on page 183 of "1984." I just re-read that entire page. It is absolutely SHOCKING how much it describes the world we are living in today. This page is really worth reading...

See 1984 Page 183.
