Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. - George Orwell, 1984

"At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation."

"He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past."

"He was conscious of nothing except the blankness of the page in front of him, the itching of the skin above his ankle, the blaring of the music, and a slight booziness caused by the gin."

"Being in a minority, even in a minority of one, did not make you mad. There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad."

"The words kept coming back to him, statement of a mystical truth and a palpable absurdity."
