chapter 5 & 6 !

"By 2050 - earlier, probably - all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed." (53)

The quote spoken by Syme, who Winston constantly says he is going to be vaporized. The quote is significant because Syme is full of a lot of knowledge that is suppose to be erased. The fact that Winston constantly says he will be vaporized shows that Syme is loyal to big brother, but his intellect takes over him.

venerated: to regard or treat with reverence; revere.

zeal:fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor; enthusiastic diligence; ardor.
