“It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander
when you were in a public place or within range of a telescreen.
The smallest thing could give you away.
A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety,
a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it
the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide.”
– George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-four.
