"Do you see, Winston, that it is not enough to obey Big Brother. You must love him."

"The Party is not concerned with obeying orders so much as with crushing the will to rebel."

"Do not count on human brotherhood. It does not exist."

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

"Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious."

"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake and not as a means to any end."

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

"The intention of all conditioning is that by the time you are ready to make up your own mind, you won't want to."

"We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power."
