"Selama mereka (Proles) terus bekerja dan berkembang biak, kegiatan mereka yang lain tidak penting. Dibiarkan sendiri, seperti ternak yang berkeliaran di dataran Argentina, mereka kembali ke gaya hidup yang tampak alami bagi mereka, semacam pola leluhur ... Pekerjaan fisik yang berat, perawatan rumah dan anak-anak, kecil-kecilan pertengkaran dengan tetangga, film, sepak bola, bir dan yang terutama, perjudian mengisi cakrawala pikiran mereka. Untuk menjaga mereka tetap terkendali tidaklah sulit."

--- George Orwell

Versi Bahasa Inggris

So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.
