1.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cWho controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.\u201d<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cWar is peace.
\nFreedom is slavery.
\nIgnorance is strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cIf you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cDoublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cUntil they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.\u201d<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cPower is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.\u201d<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cIt’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.\u201d<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cThe masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cWe do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015 H.G. Wells, The War of the Worlds<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe object of terrorism is terrorism. The object of oppression is oppression. The object of torture is torture. The object of murder is murder. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2015 George Orwell, 1984<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cI’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cGreat men are not born great, they grow great . . .\u201d<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cNever hate your enemies. It affects your judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cRevenge is a dish that tastes best when served cold.\u201d<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cBehind every great fortune there is a crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cLawyers can steal more money with a briefcase than a thousand men with guns and masks.”<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong><\/span> \u201cYou cannot say ‘no’ to the people you love, not often. That’s the secret. And then when you do, it has to sound like a ‘yes’. Or you have to make them say ‘no.’ You have to take time and trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> <\/span>\u201cItalians have a little joke, that the world is so hard a man must have two fathers to look after him, and that’s why they have godfathers.\u201d<\/p>\n
