Quote by George Orwell

“Неужели вам непонятно, что задача новояза – сузить горизонты мысли? В конце концов мы сделаем мыслепреступление попросту невозможным – для него не останется слов. Каждое необходимое понятие будет выражаться одним-единственным словом, значение слова будет строго определено, а побочные значения упразднены и забыты. В одиннадцатом издании, мы уже на подходе к этой цели. Но процесс будет продолжаться и тогда, когда нас с вами не будет на свете. С каждым годом всё меньше и меньше слов, всё уже и уже границы мысли. Разумеется, и теперь для мыслепреступления нет ни оправданий, ни причин. Это только вопрос самодисциплины, управления реальностью. Но в конце концов и в них нужда отпадёт. Революция завершится тогда, когда язык станет совершенным.”

“When he’d joined the Service he’d been in Psych Eval, which had involved evaluating operational strategies for psychological impact – on targets as well as agents – but had also meant carrying out individual assessments; who was stressed, who’d benefit from a change of routine, and who was a psychopath. Every organisation had a few, usually at management level, and it was handy to know who they were in case there was an emergency, or an office party.”

“Therefore in one line why don't these (The higher authority of an office) people just say, "You are our sex toy. We will use you as our vibrator until we derive pleasure in earning profits from you. Once we learn that you are of no use and you are not giving the pleasure we need, we will kick you or throw you in a dustbin as we throw a condom in dustbin after sex.”

“There is a simple rule regarding wisdom: those who have a superficial knowledge cannot be wise. On the contrary, wise people have broad knowledge. However, besides the acquired knowledge, wisdom arises from observation and contemplation over a longer period of time. Wisdom is, therefore, often the privilege of older people who have a broad knowledge and respectable experience. Feel free to ask such people for advice.”

“But Henry was not prepared to submit. In a speech supporting his resolutions, he supposedly exclaimed, "Tarquin and Caesar had each his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell, and George the Third..." Before he could finish the phrase, red-robed Speaker of the House John Robinson cried, "Treason! Treason," as other burgesses took up the cry. But Henry stared the Speaker in the eye and finished his sentence: "...may profit by their example! If this be treason, make the most of it!”
