“This is when you realize that sometimes, just sometimes, you need to close your door so others can knock on it. Sometimes you need to stop shining so others can notice your existence. Sometimes you need to stop answering unasked questions so others can start wondering.”

“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.”

“You say that I mean
nothing
to you,
but you search for my eyes
in the face of every woman
you meet.
You search for my warmth
in the soul of every woman
you seek.
You think that
if time and circumstance
forced you to force me
out of your life,
that time and circumstance
owe you
a woman like me.
Search, my darling.
Search.
I do not come
twice
in the eternity that passed
nor in the one to come.”
