I am very fond of the truth, but not at all of martyrdom.

Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot.

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.

A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true.

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.

False leaders create followers by lying.

Everything you said should be true but not everything true should be said.

My way of joking is to tell the truth. It is the funniest joke in the world.

Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
