None of the three statements of mine were quotes. They were my response to the statements by others, in particular the three statements in Orwell's 1984. I agree, people who quote and quote are not to be quoted. About society fights, I said it as that the only barrier between 'us and them' (title also of a great song from Pink Floyd), between the individual and the world, is the other individuals and their wills, so society is the wall dividing me from the world.

If you know the truth, then you are condemned to knowing the truth in particular that you know. That first doesn't make you have the Truth for the Truth would be all the truths, only. And we can't know that. We can only know part of the truth, and this limits us from knowing any other truth, nor whether any other fact is true or false. If we choose not to know anything--even though this is a very nihilistic way of gaining knowledge--then we can determine what is false, and know that the rest is true. Please don't confuse this logical derivation about the metaphysical implicatiosn of knowledge with Subversion's 'law of laws' which was in fact taken from several posts of mine in these forums and misleaded, just as many of the aspects of his toe.
