Quote: "Physical facts could not be ignored. In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an airplane they had to make four"(197).
Significance: This quote is significant because this is bringing back the two plus two makes five. The book states that when someone makes or designs something if u had two of something with two more of something else u get four pieces. The Party says that is wrong and it equals five. What the book says makes more sense then what the Party is saying. If someone who is reading the book Winston had they would believe that it made way more sense then the Party. That would lead to everyone else believing what the book said and over rule the Party? Or would they run scared and get those people in trouble? I do not really understand what is happening at this point, but i do believe that the book makes way more sense then the Party.
