Poster in a large window at the Trinity Long Room Hub featuring the quote “It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words” from George Orwell’s 1984. Surrounding the quote is a list of words reported by the New York Times as discouraged in U.S. federal agency communications in 2025. Words include “climate crisis,” “LGBTQ,” “gender ideology,” “disability,” and “diversity.”
How does language shape how we think? 💭
Our latest window display takes inspiration from George Orwell's '1984'.

A discussion between Prof Chris Morash (English) and Mark O'Connell (Author and Rooney Writer Fellow TLRH) organised by the Library of Trinity College Dublin. Join Professor Chris Morash, Trinity’s Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing, and prize-winning author Mark O’Connell in this discussion on the writing of John Banville. This event coincides with the inclusion of works from Banville’s archive, housed in Trinity, in the current exhibition in the Old Library Long Room. On display in the exhibition is the manuscript draft of The Singularities (2022), which – differing from the published text - concludes with the line “at the last inscribe a full, and infinitely full, full stop.”
