Read so you know you are not alone.
Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell's chilling prophecy about the future. And while the year 1984 has come and gone, Orwell's dystopian narrative is timelier than ever. 1984 presents a startling and haunting vision of the world, so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish.
A few quotes from the novel:
“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” (George Orwell, 1984)
“You are a slow learner, Winston."
"How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four."
"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.” (George Orwell, 1984)
"Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death." (George Orwell, 1984)
