“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
― George Orwell, 1984
Orwell, even though he had Leftist leanings saw the evil that the Soviet Communist were doing with there attacks on truth and language.
He saw through their use of rhetoric to control thought and public discourse.
I haven’t read 1984 in a very long time. I should read it again. I will never love Big Brother but it wouldn’t hurt to understand him better.
