More on Ideals
“Uncompromising thought is the luxury of the closeted recluse. Untrammeled reasoning is the indulgence of the philosopher, of the dreamer of sweet dreams.”
“Of all peoples the Greeks have dreamt the dream of life best.”
“It struck him that the truly characteristic thing about modern life was not its cruelty and insecurity, but simply its bareness, its dinginess, its listlessness. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the party was trying to achieve.”

“The world is full of judgment-days, and into every assembly that a man enters, in every action he attempts, he is gauged and stamped.”
