Filling Space

I will be updating my writing soon but thanks to all of you who have responded. Also, to those I have not responded, I will soon. I have been putting up quotes on my desk lately to show what I am feeling or thinking without actually saying it. I have decided to put these up in the mean time.
I have found truth that in others words your emotions are well spoken sometimes.



“Affectation of candour is common enough— one meets with it everywhere. But to be candid without ostentation or design— to take the good of everybody's character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad— belongs to you alone.”

- Elisabeth to Jane in Chapter 4 of Pride and Prejudice

Not to insult any ones intelligence but some of the words I didn’t know or remember the meaning, so I will give them to you

“You preferred to be a lunatic, a minority of one. 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 else 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. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the party, which is collective and immortal. Whatever the party holds to be truth, is truth. It is impossible to see reality except by looking through the eyes of the Party. That is the fact that you have got to re-learn, Winston. It needs an act of self destruction, an effort of the will. You must humble yourself before you can become sane. “
- O’Brien to Winston in Chapter 3 Section 2 of 1984

“I think television has betrayed the meaning of democratic speech, adding visual chaos to the confusion of voices. What role does silence have in all this noise? “
