Myths which are believed in tend to become true.

I have been redpilling people since 1984.
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals.
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
To survive it is often necessary to fight and to fight you have to dirty yourself.
As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
There are some ideas so wrong that only a very intelligent person could believe in them.
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.
Men are only as good as their technical development allows them to be.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot.
What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.
Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.
The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.
In our age there is no such thing as keeping out of politics. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.
Sometimes the first duty of intelligent men is the restatement of the obvious.
Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia.
