'the park is now empty and bare, with an abandoned shame about it. the jungle gym, the slide and the wing have rusted together. they're all so terribly alone now. where did all the children go? didn't they know that the park needed them? a child's intelligent heart can fathom the depths of many dark places. but can it fathom the delicate moment of its own detachment?'

'how are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you? doublethink. to deliberately believe in lies while knowing they're false. examples of this in every day life: oh, i need to be pretty to be happy. i need surgery to be pretty. i need to be thin / famous / fashionable. our young men today are being told that women are whores / bitches / things to be screwed / beaten / shit on / and shamed.
this is a marketing holocaust. twenty four hours a day. for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.
so, to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. to stimulate our own imagination. to cultivate our own consciousness. our own belief systems. we all need these skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.'
