". . . . . Only the disciplined mind can see reality, Winston. You believe that reality is something objective, external, existing in its own right. You also believe that the nature of reality is self-evident. When you delude yourself into thinking that you see something, you assume that everyone sees the same thing as you. But I tell you, Winston, that reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind and nowhere else. . . . Whatever the Party holds to be truth IS truth. It is impossible to see truth except by looking thru the eyes of the Party. This is the fact that you have to learn, Winston. it takes an act of self-destruction, an effort of the will. You must humble yourself before you can become sane."
George Orwell, 1984, PP. 205-206
