"It sometimes occurs that memory has a..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Commerce is a game of skill which everyone cannot play and few can play well.”

“Continual failure is a road to success - if you have the strength to go on.”

“Our distrust is very expensive.”

“What you think of as they past is a memory trace, stored in the mind, of a former Now. When you remember the past, you reactivate a memory trace -- and you do so now. The future is an imagined Now, a projection of the mind. When the future comes, it comes as the Now. When you think about the future, you do it now. Past and future obviously have no reality of their own. Just as the moon has no light of its own, but can only reflect the light of the sun, so are past and future only pale reflections of the light, power, and reality of the eternal present. Their reality is "borrowed" from the Now.”

“The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. Past events, it is argued, have no objective existance, but survive only in written records and in human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records, and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it.”

“History illumes reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life”

“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.”

“Resistance keeps you stuck. Surrender immediately opens you to the greater intelligence that is vaster than the human mind, and it can then express itself through you. So through surrender often you find circumstances changing.”

“Don’t see the mind for more than it is, but don’t misread it for all that it can be.”
