- ... the truth-denying language of Big Brother's rule in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Nor did it seem to matter greatly. There was a link of understanding between them…." In his loneliness and isolation, this hope is enough for Winston. Current history and his memories do not coincide. Oceania is and always was at war with Eurasia in alliance with Eastasia, according to all the books and papers, but this isn't ... records are changed. In Winston's case, a leader has been created. As he remembers it, nobody had heard of Big Brother before 1960. Now that he's a figurehead, history has been backdated so that there are tales of Big Brother's exploits as far back as the 1930s.

- 474: The Uncertainty Of Knowledge
- ... to create their own certainty of knowledge. But in reality, all of their knowledge is just as uncertain as that of a religious authoritarian. A portrayal of the documentation of history epitomizes the uncertainties in faith and knowledge. When a historian or any human being for that matter records a situation or an event, he must include his personal opinion. Whether ... therefore inserting an opinion. As one witnesses some kind of data, a type of subconscious analysis is almost instantly being activated. At the very instant a person begins to write 'history', he is using personal judgments and reflections. Without such judgment, how could anything be recorded? It is virtually impossible to do so.

- ... in a miracle. These points leads us to believe that there has never been a miraculous event established. Hume’s first reason in contradicting a miracle is, in all of history there has not been a miraculous event with a sufficient number of witnesses. He questions the integrity of the men and the reputation in which they hold in society. If ... reason in contradicting the validity of a miracle is that he views all of our beliefs, or what we choose to accept, or not accept through past experience and what history dictates to us. Furthermore, he tends to discredit an individual by playing on a human beings consciousness or sense of reality. An example is; using words such as, the individuals ... ancestors, who transmitted them with that inviolable sanction and authority, which always attend perceived opinions.” (Hume p.891) In any case many of the miraculous events which happened in past history would not be considered a miracle in today’s world, or at any other time in history.
