"It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundred of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word ? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take "Good" for instance. If you have a word like "good", what need is there for a word like "bad"? "Ungood" will do just as well - better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not.

[...]

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed will be expressed by exactly one word, whith its meaning rigidly defined and all subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten."
