  In the beginning Winston dreams of his mother. He takes part in the Physical Jerks while reflecting on how the Party had control over its citizens' memory.
• When there were no external records that you could refer to, even the outline of you own life lost its sharpness.
• Airstrip One, for instance, had not been so called in those days: it had been called England or Britain
• Winston could not definitely remember a time when his country had not been at war
• Since about that time, war had been literally continuous, though strictly speaking it had not always been the same war.
• The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil
• ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’
• ‘Reality control’, they called it: in Newspeak, ‘doublethink’.
• Even to understand the word ‘doublethink’ involved the use of doublethink.
• ‘6079 Smith W.!’
