Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
For a creative writer possession of the 'truth' is less important than emotional sincerity.
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac.
