"''Crimestop'' means the faculty of stopping short, as though by [[instinct]], at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping [[analogy|analogies]], of failing to perceive [[logic]]al errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to [[Ingsoc]], and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a [[heretic|heretical]] direction. ''Crimestop'', in short, means protective stupidity." <ref>p. 220, 1984 - George Orwell, Penguin, 1989</ref>
