“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten,  every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.
And the 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.”...George Orwell, “1984”

...films, football, beer and above all gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult...G. Orwell 1984

Let everything happen to you: Beauty and Terror
Just keep going, no feeling is final
