“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

“They were dancing in the social room. A record player shuffled a few simple chords violently together, then dealt them out with heavy emphasis.”
― Reginald Hill, A Clubbable Woman
