George Orwell. 1984  "Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them." ... "the essential act of the Party is to use conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while take account of the reality that one denies ..."
