Utopia

REFLECTION OF ENGLISH-SPEAKING ANTI-UTOPIANS` OEUVRE IN MODERN LIFE

«THE ESSENTIAL ACT OF WAR IS DESTRUCTION, NOT NECESSARILY OF HUMAN LIVES, BUT OF THE PRODUCTS OF HUMAN LABOUR. WAR IS A WAY OF SHATTERING TO PIECES, OR POURING INTO THE STRATOSPHERE, OR SINKING IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA, MATERIALS WHICH MIGHT OTHERWISE BE USED TO MAKE THE MASSES TOO COMFORTABLE, AND HENCE, IN THE LONG RUN, TOO INTELLIGENT».-CHAPTER 9, PART 2

«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. 'WHO CONTROLS THE PAST,' RAN THE PARTY SLOGAN, 'CONTROLS THE FUTURE: WHO CONTROLS THE PRESENT CONTROLS THE PAST.' AND YET THE PAST, THOUGH OF ITS NATURE ALTERABLE, NEVER HAD BEEN ALTERED. WHATEVER WAS TRUE NOW WAS TRUE FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING. IT WAS QUITE SIMPLE. ALL THAT WAS NEEDED WAS AN UNENDING SERIES OF VICTORIES OVER YOUR OWN MEMORY. 'REALITY CONTROL', THEY CALLED IT: IN NEWSPEAK, 'DOUBLETHINK’».
-CHAPTER 3, PART 1

AS WE KNOW FROM GNOSEOLOGY, PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD BY HUMAN IS DETERMINED BY HIS LANGUAGE

«DON'T YOU SEE THAT THE WHOLE AIM OF NEWSPEAK IS TO NARROW THE RANGE OF THOUGHT? IN THE END WE SHALL MAKE THOUGHTCRIME LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO WORDS IN WHICH TO EXPRESS IT. EVERY CONCEPT THAT CAN EVER BE NEEDED, WILL BE EXPRESSED BY EXACTLY ONE WORD, WITH ITS MEANING RIGIDLY DEFINED AND ALL ITS SUBSIDIARY MEANINGS RUBBED OUT AND FORGOTTEN».
-CHAPTER 5, PART 1

«THERE WILL BE NO CURIOSITY, NO ENJOYMENT OF THE PROCESS OF LIFE. ALL COMPETING PLEASURES WILL BE DESTROYED. BUT ALWAYS — DO NOT FORGET THIS, WINSTON — ALWAYS THERE WILL BE THE INTOXICATION OF POWER, CONSTANTLY INCREASING AND CONSTANTLY GROWING SUBTLER. ALWAYS, AT EVERY MOMENT, THERE WILL BE THE THRILL OF VICTORY, THE SENSATION OF TRAMPLING ON AN ENEMY WHO IS HELPLESS. IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE, IMAGINE A BOOT STAMPING ON A HUMAN FACE — FOREVER».- CHAPTER 3, PART3

"STABILITY," SAID THE CONTROLLER, "STABILITY. NO CIVILIZATION WITHOUT SOCIAL STABILITY. NO SOCIAL STABILITY WITHOUT INDIVIDUAL STABILITY."
