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

"The Party is immortal; you are not. The Party will still be here after you are dead."

"I have told you already. The Party is not concerned with overt acts. It is not even concerned with crime. It is concerned solely with thought."

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

"Do not imagine that you will save yourself by pleading for mercy."

"The proles are not human beings."
