SOCIETY FIGHTS (as Tolstoy's original meaning of the title of his book 'War and peace' was 'War and Society' but the comunist changed the meaning of the word he used from society to peace, and Orwell used the title of the book for the first statement ('war is peace')of the system in his book 1984).
TRUTH ENSALVES (as the quoted book 1984 states (2nd) 'freedom is slavery' and the science positivists state that truth freedomizes, then this statement).
WISDOM STRENGTHENS (again in reference to 1984, the third statement is 'ignorance is strength' and people have always thought about wisdom as making us weak, well not).

Those are three statements I give. Obviouslly the only one relevant here is the middle one for it shows that I think that truth doesn't set us free, in fact it does the opposite; we are condemned (as Nietzsche said) to search for truth and inventing such truth as objective.
