All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others. Political language. . . is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats. He who controls the present, controls the past.He who controls the past, controls the future. People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. |
