"Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as the truth' exists. There is, for instance, no such thing as Science' ... If the Leader says of such and such an event, It never happened'-well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five-well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs."
