"Our new, happy life had begun."

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

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

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

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

"Humanity is holding a rifle in one hand and an olive branch in the other."

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

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

"We shall meet again, perhaps in some other paradise where the Party does not rule."

"Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia! I'll do anything, anything!"

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