The people who knew the least and questioned nothing were the model citizens of Oceania, and managed to escape vaporization or torture.

- ... is Unlike Beauty, for it has Nothing to With the Beholders Eye, but Instead the Public's View O'Brien insists that Winston is insane. In Winston's society it is suicide to go against Big Brother. A simple smirk can be a first degree crime in Oceania. Winston knew that he was guilty of thought crime, but he went farther and farther in his efforts to rebel against Big Brother. Eventually his original thoughtcrime had turned into action. First as writing creative works in his diary and eventually to sexual acts with other members of the party. Winston justified his writing. "He could not help feeling a twinge of panic. It was absurd, since the writing of those particular words was not more dangerous that the act of opening the diary........ Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference. Whether he went on with his diary, or whether he did not go on with it, made no difference.

- 155: Inherit the Wind: Creationism and Evolution
- ... in G-d"(114). Some scientist would say that is very possible. Genesis is in many ways a place to look for moral answers. One should think of evolution and creationism being put into one big blender and a final mixture of the two as a product. Evolution is the process in which species adapt overtime. In the theory of evolution all life started with a single-cell organism, which then ... could mean that each day was ten million years and over that time man or animal evolved. Also, G-d could have created the very first cell and then things evolved.
