"“You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth.”"

"“With the truth, all given facts harmonize; but with what is false, the truth soon hits a wrong note.”"

"“The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.”"

"“Sometimes it is harder to accede to a thing than it is to see its truth.”"

"“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself -- that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.”"

"Nature has given us one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak."
