Visions of Tomorrow

"And if all others accepted the lie which the

Party imposed -

if all records told the same tale -

then the lie passed into history and became

truth.

'Who Controls the Past,' ran the Party slogan,

'Controls the Future:

Who controls the Present, Controls the Past.'

* * *

It was quite simple.
All that was needed was an unending
series of victories over one's own memory.

'Reality Control'

they called it; in Newspeak 'doublethink'."

"One of these days,
thought Winston with sudden deep conviction,
Syme will be vaporized.

He is too intelligent.
He sees too clearly.
He speaks too plainly.

The Party does not like such people.
One day he will
~ disappear ~
it is written in his face."

- 1984 -
[p. 53]


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"By 2050 - earlier, probably - all real knowledge of
Oldspeak will have disappeared.

The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed.

Chauncer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron

they'll exist only in Newspeak versions,

not merely changed into something different,
but actually changed into something
contradictory of what they used to be...

The whole climate of thought will be different.

In fact there will be no thought, as we understand it now.

Orthodoxy means not thinking - not needing to think.

Orthodoxy is unconsciousness."
[Syme]

-1984-
