"Know or not, knowing truth while carefully constructing lies, holding 2 opinions that cancel out, knowing they're contradictory & believing both, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it-then, apply the same process to the process itself—is the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, then, to become unconscious of the hypnosis you just performed. Just to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involves its use.”—Orwell, 1984
