George Orwell
“La sua mente si perdette lontana nel labirinto del bispensiero. Sapere e non sapere. Essere coscienti della suprema verità nel mentre che si dicono ben architettate menzogne, condividere contemporaneamente due opinioni che si annullano a vicenda, sapere che esse sono contraddittorie e credere in entrambe. Usare la logica contro la logica, ripudiare la morale nel mentre che la si adotta, credere che la democrazia è impossibile e che il Partito è il custode della democrazia. Dimenticare tutto quel che era necessario dimenticare, e quindi richiamarlo alla memoria nel momento in cui sarebbe stato necessario, e quindi, con prontezza, dimenticarlo da capo: e soprattutto applicare lo stesso processo al processo stesso. Questa era l'ultima raffinatezza: assumere coscientemente l'incoscienza, e quindi, da capo, divenire inconscio dell'azione ipnotica or ora compiuta.”
George Orwell, 1984

Aldous Huxley
“But all the same," insisted the Savage, "it is natural to believe in God when you're alone–quite alone, in the night, thinking about death …"
"But people never are alone now," said Mustapha Mond. "We make them hate solitude; and we arrange their lives so that it's almost impossible for them ever to have it.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
