This is a quote from Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Four (to give it the correct title). It was Winston Smith's protest against the fact-bending practiced by the Party.

Yes, freedom includes the the right to be wrong as well as right, the right to fail as well as succeed, etc. But as Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, ‘You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.’ That two plus two makes four is a fact.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
-- 6079 Smith W.
