“To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivious for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – al this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of (203>204) doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.”
