O'Brien

"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—forever."

"The Party is immortal."

"Do not imagine that you will save yourself, Winston. You did not save yourself."

"Goodness is not enough. We have to be strong."

"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past"

"It is our custom to destroy all that is beautiful"

"Do you see, Winston, that power is not concerned with wealth or comfort or happiness"

"The best books are treasuries of the dead moments of men's lives"

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

"In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it"

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

"You are a flaw in the pattern, Winston. You are a stain that must be wiped out"

"We are all broken creatures"

"How does one man assert his power over another? By making him suffer"

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

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

"Some kinds of loyalty are above morality."

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

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

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

"You do not give orders here. You obey orders."

"We are the guardians of human rationality."

"The past is already gone. The future has not happened. There is only the present instant."

"Your mind contains encrypted messages."

"You will never see me again. If you do see me, it will not be I."

"I know you. I know you inside out."

"Obedience is not enough. You must love Big Brother."

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

"We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull."
