Quote by George Orwell

“…el laberíntico mundo del doblepiensa. Saber y no saber, tener plena conciencia de algo que sabes que es verdad y al mismo tiempo contar mentiras cuidadosamente elaboradas, mantener a la vez dos opiniones sabiendo que son contradictorias y creer en ambas, utilizar la lógica en contra de la lógica, repudiar la moralidad en nombre de la moralidad misma, creer que la democracia era imposible y que el partido era el garante de la democracia, olvidar lo que hacía falta olvidar y luego recordarlo cuando hacía falta, para luego olvidarlo otra vez. Y, por encima de todo, aplicar ese mismo proceso al propio proceso. Esa era la mayor sutileza: inducir conscientemente a la inconsciencia, y luego, una vez más, volverse inconsciente del acto de hipnosis que acabas de realizar. Incluso la comprensión del término doblepiensa implicaba el uso del doblepiensa (Cap 3, primera parte - 1984)”

“The Maggie [Alexander Mackendrick, 1954] represents Scotland at its most self-lacerative. Precisely at the moment, the early fifties, when the massive penetration of American capital into Scotland was gathering pace, The Maggie actually sets the two halves of the contradiction - american entrepreneur and Scottish workers in opposition to each other, but with almost wilful perversity the film has the Scots win hands down. In true Kailyard style, what is not achievable at the level of political struggle is attainable in the Scottish imagination.”
