I desire no future that will break the ties of the past.

The best prophet of the future is the past.

We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible

We've walked that balance between celebrating the past and celebrating the future, what we hope it to 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.

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
