"How does one man assert his power over another?"

"By making him suffer."

"Do you see, Winston, that it is all perfectly in order?"

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

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

"The Party, as I say, does not concern itself with the very low. It simply sweeps them under the carpet."

"You don't give orders here. You obey orders or you get punished. That's the only choice you have."

"Real power is achieved when the ruling power destroys the individual will to resist."

"The proles are human beings, but they are not like you and me."

"The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred."

"Sanity is not statistical. I can appreciate that you are the only person who matters."

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

"The only real power comes out of a gun."

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

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

"Reality control does not require a change of heart."

"Humanity is not ready for freedom."

"The Party is not concerned with perpetuating its blood but with perpetuating itself. WHO wields power is not important, provided that the hierarchical structure remains always the same."

"God is Power. In the human sphere, the only god is Big Brother."

"We need not worry about you. We shall cure you."

"Victory over oneself is the only victory that matters."

"The Party demands total acceptance or total rejection of its authority."

"Do you see, Winston, that it is all perfectly simple?"

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

"We are the dead. You are the dead."

"The Party controls all records, and we control all memory."

"The Party is not interested in the good of others; it is interested solely in power."

"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 past is dead. The past no longer exists"
