The Ministry of Truth is a place where history and facts -- significant and insignificant are rewritten to reflect the party's utopian beliefs.

An interesting quotation from the book is from the "thought police" when they say "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever. " I believ...
