   “To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are   
   different from one another and do not live alone— to a time when truth exists   
   and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of   
   solitude, from the    
   age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink — greetings! ”
