Summary

This quote from George Orwell's novel "1984" highlights the idea that reality is subjective and constrained by those in power. It suggests that reality is not defined by the perceptions of individuals which can be fallible and transitory, but rather by the collective mind of the ruling Party, which is everlasting.
