two evil choices
The choice before human beings, is not, as a rule, between good and evil but between two evils.
war ignorance fighting
It was with the last revolution and the coming of INGSOC (Inglish/English Socialism) that the latest High learnt how to keep their position permanently - by cultivating ignorance among the other classes and by constantly surveying them through the Thought Police. Part of this strategy included the maintenance of a state of continual warfare, which Goldstein discussed in the third chapter. The three major powers were not fighting this perpetual war for victory; they were fighting to keep a state of emergency always present as the surest guarantee of authoritarianism.
insecure fighting economic-inequality
The essential point here is that all people with small, insecure incomes are in the same boat and ought to be fighting on the same side. Probably we could do with a little less talk about' capitalist' and 'proletarian' and a little more about the robbers and the robbed.
love romantic giving
Her feelings were her own, and could not be altered from outside. It would not have occurred to her that an action which is ineffectual thereby becomes meaningless. If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love.
fun fall pie
And the bigger the fall, the bigger the joke. It would be better fun to throw a custard pie at a bishop than at a curate.
thinking persons thinking-person
It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it.
people ignorant influence
It's frightful that people who are so ignorant have so much influence.
party care tyranny
The Party is not interested in the overt act. The thought is all we care about.
struggle book writing
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.
sleep interesting people
People invent new machines and improve existing ones almost unconsciously, rather as a Somnambulist will go walking in his sleep. The interesting puzzle in our times is that we so willingly sleepwalk through the process of reconstituting the conditions of human existence.
thinking interesting bullets
The whole experience of being hit by a bullet is very interesting and I think worth describing in detail.
party people progressive
Politically, Swift was one of those people who are driven into a sort of perverse Toryism by the follies of the progressive party of the moment.
earlier happened logical
I don't think there's anything logical about it at all. It should have happened at one of those earlier meetings.
advantage
It's them as take advantage that get advantage i' this world.
