The Ministry of Truth—Minitrue, in Newspeak—was startlingly different from any other object in sight. It was an enormous pyramidal structure of glittering white concrete, soaring up, terrace after terrace, 300 metres into the air.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH


1984 George Orwell
