“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” George Orwell, 1984

Great topic for someone who majored in English!  

One of my favorites .... I can't tell you how often I've used it .  From G. K. Chestterton's.  

“If there were no God, there would be no atheists.”

My second most used quote is from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ... I've used this often recently.

"The evil that men do lives after them.  The good is oft interred with their bones."

On occasion, I've used Lady MacBeth's "Out, damned spot! Out, I say!" when trying to get a stain off some clothing.

Orwell's Animal Farm:   "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
