At the Ministry of Truth: "It was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech, in such a way as to make him predict the thing that had actually happened"

"The Ministry of Plenty's forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at 145 million pairs. The actual output was given as 62 million. Winston, however, in re-writing the forecast, marked the figure down to 57 million, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been over-fulfilled."
