Quote for the Day

George Orwell

"He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past."

-From 1984

Those who would revise our past, trash our culture, deconstruct our literature, and insist that Western civilization is the scourge of human history know Orwell's words all too well. For Orwell it was a work of fiction. For them it is a modus operandi. Their actions give credence to his work of fiction by making it a reality in our lives.

Only by remembering will we preserve our patrimony. Only by living life to the fullest will we assure the continuation of our culture. Only by recapturing our language will we continue our literary tradition. Only by a willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of our civilization will we guarantee its continued existence as a beacon of hope and light in a world gone mad.
