George Orwell quote: "He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable."
He was alone. The past was dead, the future was unimaginable. George Orwell
For when you are approaching poverty, you make one discovery which outweighs all of the others ... the fact that it annihilates the future. Within certain limits, it is actually true that the less money you have the less you worry.When you have a hundred francs in the world you are liable to the most craven panics. When you have three francs left, you are quite indifferent ... you are bored but you are not afraid. You think vaguely "I shall be starving in a day or two- shocking, isn't it?"... George Orwell

Nazi theory indeed specifically denies that such a thing as "the truth" exists. […] The implied objective of this line of thought is a nightmare world in which the Leader, or some ruling clique, controls not only the future but the past. If the Leader says of such and such an event, "It never happened"—well, it never happened. If he says that two and two are five—well, two and two are five. This prospect frightens me much more than bombs […] George Orwell
George Orwell quote: "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on..."
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. George Orwell
How could you make appeal to the future when not a trace of you, not even an anonymous word scribbled on a piece of paper, could physically survive? George Orwell
To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available. George Orwell
George Orwell quote: "Those who control the present, control the past and those who..."
Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future. George Orwell
George Orwell quote: "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the..."
Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. George Orwell
