More From George Orwell

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.
Dream Pain Night
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

Traditional sales and marketing involves increasing market shares, which means selling as much of your product as you can to as many customers as possible. one-to-one marketing involves driving for a share of customer, which means ensuring that each individual customer who buys your product buys more product, buys only your brand, and is happy using your product instead of another to solve his problem. the true, current value of any one customer is a function of the customer's future purchases, across all the product lines, brands, and services offered by you.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. they can be a powerful influence for good when they're on the positive side, and they can and do make you physically ill when they're on the negative side. i don't eat junk foods and i don't think junk thoughts! let me tell you, junk thoughts can destroy you even more quickly than junk food. junk thoughts are something to be wary of.

The argument for liberty is not an argument against organization, which is one of the most powerful tools human reason can employ, but an argument against all exclusive, privileged, monopolistic organization, against the use of coercion to prevent others from doing better.

As you go out to the 2040s, now the bulk of our thinking is out in the cloud. the biological portion of our brain didn't go away but the nonbiological portion will be much more powerful. and it will be uploaded automatically the way we back up everything now that's digital.

We've all got our own brand of problems. you can be pitiful or powerful. take your pick.

Movies are a powerful medium. people think you are your character. i've had plenty of people who think i'm drago. they don't know about the chemical engineering part of my personality. they don't know about the geek part of my personality.
