"Parsons was Winston's fellow employee at The Ministry of Truth. He was a fattish but active man of paralyzing stupidity, a mass of imbecile enthusiasms - one of those completely unquestioning, devoted drudges on whom, more even than the Thought Police, the stability of the Party depended."

"He picked up the children's history book and looked at the portrait of Big Brother which formed its frontispiece. The hypnotic eyes gazed into his own. It was as though some huge force were pressing down upon you - something that penetrated inside your skull, battering against your brain, frightening you out of your beliefs, persuading you, almost, to deny the evidence of your own senses. In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it...........................

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Slogans and excerpts from 1984.
