More Obfuscation

Secrets are lies.
Sharing is caring.
Privacy is theft.
— Dave Eggers, The Circle

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
― George Orwell, 1984

I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
― The earliest known print attribution is to U.S. State Department spokesman Robert McCloskey by CBS reporter Marvin Kalb (TV Guide, 31 March 1984), citing an unspecified press briefing during the Vietnam War. Ralph Keyes, The Quote Verifier (2006, p. 233)
