Quote: "The command of the old despotism was 'Thou shalt not.' The command of the totalitarians was 'Thou shalt.' Our command is 'Thou art.'"
Significance:
I actually prefer this line to descibe the Party as opposed to the Party's slogans. It cleary states that they not only plan on creating a conformed society, but a perfectly conformed society. All who have a history of stepping out of line are removed from existence, as they are seen as different from others. Differences cannot be tolerated in their world. All must be born the same.....Which leads me to wonder if all must die the same, too.

About Me
- Nathaniel
- “Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”
