What most afflicted him with the sense of nightmare was that he had never clearly understood why the huge imposture was undertaken. The immediate advantages of falsifying the past were obvious, but the ultimate motive was mysterious. He took up his pen again and wrote:
I understand HOW: I do not understand WHY.

What are you saying, Watson? That this case might consume me? May kill me, destroy me, make me fall into bad habits? May take me on the most outre paths towards finding the most remarkable criminal bearing the most original, genius and ordered brain that eludes me at every turn and threatens to destroy not only my reputation but my entire being?
☝️You son of a bitch! I'm in 👈

I'm in an 1984 fever.
Suddenly, 1984 is everywhere. My english teacher randomly talked about it, and yesterday, my french teacher wore a hoodie with "84" and "not ordinary" on.
Also, I got it from the library, so I finally get to read it, and in like a month, I'm gonna watch it in theater with friendsos

Why did you have to endure it, since the end was always the same? Why was it not possible to cut a few days or weeks out of your life
Nobody ever escaped detection, and nobody ever failed to confess.
When once you had succumbed to thoughtcrime it was certain that by a given date you would be dead. Why then did that horror, which altered nothing, have to lie embedded in future time?

Streets of Fire
Summary: Ex-soldiers Tom Cody (Michael Paré) and McCoy (Amy Madigan) set out to rescue Cody's ex-girlfriend Ellen (Diane Lane) from a biker gang led by Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe).
Absorbing neon-noir tale with brash Diane Lane and middle finger to chronological consistency. Surprised at lack of wider queer readings.
Rating: 3.75/5
