“There has been, is, and always will be every conceivable type of person.  ”

“Every day is Judgement Day. Always has been. Always will be.”

“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.”

“Yes, the essence of every love is a child, and it makes no difference at all whether it has ever actually been conceived or born. In the algebra of love a child is the symbol of the magical sum of two beings.”

“A pause. It might have been pregnant. I’ve never been sure how to tell if a silence has conceived or not.”

“The type of person who will always be your friend, for as long as you can stand to keep disappointing her.”
