“The brotherhood cannot be wiped out because it is not an organization in the ordinary reasons. Nothing holds it together, except an idea indestructible”

Found it so interesting, Orwell caries you in his roller coaster, starting with describing a dystopia focusing on his main character in the beginning, smoothly glides into a non cheesy love story and slowly talking about the possibility of an uprising. Meanwhile sharing his opinion on how strong the language could be by looking at it in a philosophical manner (reminds me of Ludwig Wittgenstein)

Syme’s monologue about Newspeak; majestically horrifying.
