Here are some notable quotes from the chapters that I have highlighted throughout the video recording:



Quote from George Orwell's 1984 in white letters over a black background with a faint chainlink fence pattern that says: To hang on from day to day and from week to week, spinning out a present that had no future, seemed an unconquerable instinct, just as one's lungs will always draw the next breath so long as there is air available.

Quote from George Orwell's 1984 in white letters over a black background with a faint chainlink fence pattern that says: It's always one bloody war after another, and one knows the news is all lies anyway.

Quote from George Orwell's 1984 in white letters over a black background with a faint chainlink fence pattern that says: Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered... Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

Quote from George Orwell's 1984 in white letters over a black background with a faint chainlink fence pattern that says: ...the world-view of the Party imposed itself most successfully on people incapable of understanding it. .... because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.
