"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others."

"The object of power is power."

"We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness."

"Do you see, Winston, that it is not even necessary to use a weapon? We are not concerned with making him suffer."

"It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere."

"Humanity is not ready for freedom."

"In the end we shall make thoughtcrime impossible."

"The essential thing is that the masses should feel that their lives are improving."

"The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself."

"The Party controls all records, and we control all records and we lie with perfect confidence."

"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever."

"The worst thing in the world is not pain, but betrayal."

"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows."

"Do you see, Winston, that it is all useless? Do you see that you are always defeated?"

"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power."

"The Party is not interested in the overt act: the thought is all we care about."

"Real power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together in new shapes of your own choosing."

"The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better."

"There is no escape. You will always be caught."

"You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves."

"We are not interested in making him suffer, if he can be brought round then that is preferable."

"There is no such thing as an isolated thought."

"The Party does not concern itself with the motive for the crime. The thought is all we care about."

"Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter."

"I don't care. I am not interested in your suffering. I am interested only in power."

"Do you see, Winston, that it is all contained in that one word?"

"It is our custom to execute people who are dying. Did you know that, Winston?"

"Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship."

"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power."

"The Party is not interested in the overt act: the thought is all we care about."
