Franz Kafka
“İşte bütün bunlar K.’ya kendisiyle bütün bağların koparıldığı, şimdi doğal olarak her zamankinden daha özgür olduğu ve ona başka zaman yasak olan bu yerde istediği kadar bekleyebileceği hissini verdi; sanki özgürlüğünü kimsenin yapamayacağı bir mücadeleyle elde etmişti ve kimse ona dokunamazdı, onu kovamazdı, hatta onunla konuşamazdı bile; ama bu inanç öylesine güçlüydü ki, sanki aynı zamanda bu özgürlükten, bu bekleyişten, bu dokunulmazlıktan daha anlamsız ve çaresiz bir şey yoktu.”
Franz Kafka

George Orwell
“Bütün düşünce iklimi değişmiş olacak. Aslına bakarsan şu an anladığımız anlamıyla düşünce diye bir şey olmayacak. Ortodoksluk düşünmemek demektir- düşünmeye ihtiyaç duymamaktır. Ortodoksluk bilinçsizliktir.”
George Orwell, 1984
