I feel like Winston in “1984”. Some quotes:
1. War is peace; freedom is slavery; ignorance is strength
2. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
3. In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.
4. And when memory failed and written records were falsifiedwhen that happened, the claim of the Party to have improved the conditions of human life had got to be accepted, because there did not exist, and never again could exist, any standard against which it could be tested.
5. And perhaps you might pretend, afterwards, that it was only a trick and that you just said it to make them stop and didnt really mean it. But that isnt true. At the time when it happens you do mean it. You think theres no other way of saving yourself and youre quite ready to save yourself that way. You want it to happen to the other person. You dont give a damn what they suffer. All you care about is yourself.
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face for ever…
…And remember that it is for ever. The face will always be there to be stamped upon. The heretic, the enemy of society, will always be there, so that he can be defeated and humiliated over again.
