O'Brien

"You see, Winston, reality is not external. Reality exists in the human mind."

"The more the Party is powerful, the less it tolerates opposition."

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

"We manufacture them. We bring them in through the back doors of the Ministry of Peace."

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

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

"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."

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

"There is no escape. Nor is there any need of escape; you have simply failed to see that you are free."

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

"Consciousness, as we understand it, is incompatible with the Party's needs."

"It is intolerable to us that an erroneous thought should exist anywhere in the world."

"Two plus two make five."

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

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

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

"Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else."

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

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

"Always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler."

"Power is tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing."

"We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them."

"For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works?"

"Your countenance betrays you, Winston. An expression of pain was quite evident."

"Human nature is not constant. It varies from age to age and from society to society."

"Nothing was more important than the crushing of your human individuality."

"Our power is not based on our capacity to inflict pain. It is based on our capacity to inflict despair."

"To be a part of the system you must understand the system. To overthrow the system, you must become the system."

"Do you see, Winston, the purpose of power is power."
