Status Updates From Nineteen Eighty-Four

Also the copy I am reading has more pages than this says so numbers might off…

“…it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.” (talking about the chant)

“To dissemble your feelings, to control your face, to do what everyone else was doing, was an instinctive reaction.”

“How could you communicate with the future?…Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him: or it would be different from it, and his predicament would be meaningless.”

Wanting to document quotes I like through this progress feature. This is crazy that this was written in 1949…I think I am going to really like this book.

Just getting into it and omg it’s not subtle. I am really loving the opportunity to read these classics for the first time as an adult (my English classes in high school did not teach this book), even if I wish I read this book sooner.
