WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
The choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness, and that, for the great bulk of mankind, happiness was better.
Can you not understand that liberty is worth more than ribbons?
You are free to be a drunkard, an idler, a coward, a backbiter, a fornicator; but you are not free to think for yourself.
To die hating them, that was freedom.
The price of liberty is not so much eternal vigilance as eternal dirt.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
Free speech is unthinkable. All other kinds of freedom are permitted.
Besides, in those days they had been slaves and now they were free, and that made all the difference.
