"It was curious to think that the sky was the same for
everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky
were also very much the same — everywhere, all over the world, hundreds of
thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another’s
existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the
same — people who had never learned to think but who were storing up in
their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the
world. "
