"Many people genuinely do not want to be saints, and it is probable that some who achieve or aspire to sainthood have never felt much temptation to be human beings."
"Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it's in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution.

And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right."

"This work was strictly voluntary, but any animal who absented himself from it would have his rations reduced by half."
