War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

We gain the strength of the temptation we resist.

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.

We acquire the strength we have overcome.

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
