“We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.

We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation. In the face of the Thought Police there is no other way.”
― 1984
