Quote by George Orwell

Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.

Summary

This quote from George Orwell's novel "1984" highlights the idea that reality is subjective and constrained by those in power. It suggests that reality is not defined by the perceptions of individuals which can be fallible and transitory, but rather by the collective mind of the ruling Party, which is everlasting. Orwell's concept serves as a critique of oppressive regimes that assert control over people's thoughts and manipulate their perception of truth in order to maintain authority. The quote emphasizes the Party's attempt to monopolize the definition of reality for its own benefit and to establish a form of reality that aligns with its totalitarian agenda.

At one time,' Golenishchev continued, either not observing or not willing to observe that both Anna and Vronsky wanted to speak, 'at one time a freethinker was a man who had been brought up in the conception of religion, law, and morality, who reached freethought only after conflict and difficulty. But now a new type of born freethinkers has appeared, who grow up without so much as hearing that there used to be laws of morality, or religion, that authorities existed. They grow up in ideas of negation in everything -- in other words, utter savages.
