Sometimes reading Orwell's 1984 gives me a chill as it reminds me of so many things...blast from past in East Germany.
"A Party member is required to have not only the right opinions, but the right instincts. Many of the beliefs and attitudes demanded of him are never plainly stated, and could not be stated without laying bare the contradictions inherent in the Ingsoc. [...] But in any case an elaborate mental training, undergone in childhood and grouping itself round the Newspeak [...], makes him unwilling and unable to think too deeply on any subject whatever." (George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, 1949)
