On a more positive note, "We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future."

1984 Quotes That Are Way Too Real
Dana Lee 01-15-18


"We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation. In the face of the Thought Police there is no other way.”
