 Escaping Room 101...
You hide in Room 101 and fancy yourself to be a doer, an achiever, and yet the purpose of the daydream is to lend you the smallest taste of the satisfaction that can come only from achievement.
I hate the statement and I hate the argument and I hate the depths of self-destruction that must be plumbed to arrive at such a horrid opinion of one's own soul, and, truly, I cringe in revulsion whenever I think about any of this.
I want you to live, and I hope you will let yourself escape from death...

 Matrix, The : Room 101
In George Orwell& book 1984 (well at lest in theb Penguin Books pub.) Turn to page 303 (303 was the door number of the room Trinity was in) of 1984 and you will find the 2 + 2 = 5 formula introduced into the story line...I just thought it was neato to share.

For some it’s spiders and for others snakes, but when George Orwell wanted to put the hero of his novel 1984 through the worst possible torture, he came up with rats.
Vivien Lovell, Director of Modus Operandi, explained that Whiteread was invited to produce the work because it was felt "the resonance and mythology of the space might fascinate her."
"Room 101 stands as a metaphor in the collective memory and the popular imagination for the worst thing that can happen to you," she said.
