   "Doublethink lies at the very heart of Ingsoc, since the essential act   
   of the Party is to use conscious deception while retaining the firmness   
   of purpose that goes with complete honesty.  To tell deliberate lies   
   while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become   
   inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it   
   back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the   
   existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the   
   reality which one denies -- all this is indispensably necessary..."
