1984 by George Orwell
“To mark the paper was the decisive act,”
“To mark the paper was the decisive act,”
“I’m scared because I know my last thoughts are going to be about how much time I wasted—how much life I wasted. I’m scared because I’m going to die not being proud of how I lived.”
“Clark didn’t feel like dying just then,”
“…And even the death camps; even that was explained away,”
“So all this time … we’ve joked that I saved you when we met but really, you saved me,”
“When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.”
“Be a man!… What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.”
“Parents love with no agenda or judgement,”
“But now as I end this story, brothers, I am not young, not no longer,”
“As all historians know, the past is a great darkness and filled with echoes,”
