"The past was erased, the erasure was..." - Quote by George Orwell

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

“To write or even speak English is not a science but an art. There are no reliable words.... Whoever writes English is involved in a struggle that never lets up even for a sentence.”

“If you turn the other cheek, you will get a harder blow on it than you got on the first one. This does not always happen, but it is to be expected, and you ought not to complain if it does happen.”

“Never can custom conquer nature, for she is ever unconquered.”

“Fire destroys falsehood, that is sophistry, and restores truth, driving out darkness.”

“Art is not truth; art is the lie which makes us see the truth.”

“Something of great importance now past is inferior to something of little importance now present, in that the latter is a reality, and related to the former as something to nothing.”

“If you worry about yesterday's failures, then today's successes will be few. The future depends on what we do in the present”

“You are young. No hungry generations tread you down. The past does not mock you with the ruins of a beauty the secret of whose creation you have lost”
