The following quotes are from 1984. Can you identify the speaker? (Hint.....you'll have to on the test! THIS IS A SAMPLING FROM THE QUOTE IDENTIFICATION SECTION.)

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well.”

“Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clement’s. That was a rhyme we had when I was a little boy. How it goes on, I don’t remember, but I do know it ended up, Here comes a candle to light you to bed, Here comes a chopper to chop off your head.”

“The rhyme was ‘rod.’ Do you realize that there are only twelve rhymes to ‘rod’ in the entire language? For days I had racked my brains. There was no other rhyme.”

“You are the last man…You are the guardian of the human spirit. You shall see yourself as you are.”
