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

"If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself."

"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 concerned with the overt act: the thought is all we care about."

"The Party wants you to feel that you are helpless against your oppressors."

"The Party is immortal; you are not. The Party will still be there when you are dead."

"We shall crush you down to the point from which there is no coming back."

"You do not merely obey the Party; you love Big Brother."

"The purpose of persecution is persecution."

"Humanity needs some things to struggle against."

"Betrayal is the only form of love."

"The Party told you to reject it. You did reject it. You are free."

"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."

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

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

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