“Meanwhile, news has been leaked to the press that the Hero of Drummond Street will be pictured on the cover of a national magazine, nude.”
“Until recently, 'the news' has meant to different things - events that are newsworthy, and events covered by the press.”
“Nakedness has no color: this can come as news only to those who have never covered, or been covered by, another naked human being.”
“What has made this nation great? Not its heroes but its households.”
“Meanwhile, I was doodling pictures of vampiric cougars.”
“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.”
