History  has stopped. Nothing  exists except an endless
present  in  which the Party  is always right. I  know, of course, that the
past  is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even
when  I did  the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence
ever  remains.  The only evidence  is inside my own  mind, and I don't know
with  any certainty  that any other human being shares my memories. Just in
