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

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

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

"Do you see, Winston, that the Party does not seek power for its own ends, but only for the good of the majority?"

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

"Do not imagine that you will save yourself, Winston. You did know you were committing suicide when you entered this room."

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

"A man is his own most dangerous enemy."

"Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation on another person."

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

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

"The Party is not concerned with obeying orders. It is concerned with power."

"Power is not a means; it is an end."

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

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

"We have been waiting for you. It was all arranged."

"I have given you my trust. I expect you to do the same."

"By the time you read this, I will be dead."

"There is truth and there is untruth. It is necessary to be able to recognize both."

"We make the laws of nature."

"The law of the jungle is the law of nature."

"Your mind belongs to the Party now. You will think as we think."

"It is power at its finest—total and complete."

"Do you see, Winston, that it is all perfectly in order? Do you see, that you have had the whole world in your head?"

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

"It is intolerable to us that an errand boy should earn nearly as much as a head of a department."

"Humanity will be destroyed. Humanity always is destroyed."

"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes. Only in the mind of the Party."

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

"Do not suppose that you will save yourself. You will die. But you may die with the knowledge that you have done your duty."
