A
however. only the thought police mattered.
2
Q
it was even conceivable that…
A
they watched everybody all the time.
3
Q
you had to live - did live, from habit that…
A
became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement was scrutinised.
4
Q
war is…
A
peace
5
Q
freedom is…
A
slavery
6
Q
ignorance is…
A
strength
7
Q
she put a vast arm around…
A
his shoulder… I might be your mother!
8
Q
he did not feel it. in this…
A
place, you could not feel anything, except pain and the foreknowledge of pain.
9
Q
it was easier to…
A
confess everything and implicate everybody
10
Q
he had never loved him so…
A
deeply as at this moment, and not merely because he had stopped the pain
11
Q
2 + 2 =
A

12
Q
the object of persecution is persecution. the object of torture…
A
is torture. the object of power is power.
13
Q
do you see that thing facing you? that is…
A
the last man. if you are human, that is humanity
14
Q
the terrible thing was when…
A
O’Brien said this he would believe it
15

A
control the mind. reality is inside the skull.

Q
[he] was growing fatter…
A
and stronger

he trained himself in not seeing or not understanding…
A
the arguments that contradicted them

Julia! Julia! Julia…
A
my love! Julia!
20

certain to attack

23
Q
to think, to think, even with a…
A
split second left to think was the only hope
24
Q
he loved…
A
big brother
25
it was only a momentary...
glance, full of contempt and dislike
26
his flesh froze at...
the horror at the thought of it [kissing her]
27
they can't get inside you, she had said. but they could...
get inside you. 'what happens to you in here is FOR EVER [itl]' O'Brien had said. that was a true word
28
newspeak was the official language of...
oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of ingsoc
29
the purpose of newspeak was...
not only to... to make all other modes of thought impossible.
30
a heretical thought - that is, a thought diverging...
from the principles of ingsoc - should be literally unthinkable, at least so far as thought us dependent on words
31
the paint was plastered so...
thick on her face that it looked as though it might crack like a cardboard mask
32
chastity was as deeply ingrained in...
them as Party loyalty
33
the only recognised purpose of marriage...
was to beget children for the service of the Party
34
when I saw her in the light she was quite...
an old woman, fifty years old at least. But I went ahead and did it just the same.
35
it was therefore necessary to rewrite a paragraph of Big Brother's speech, in such a way as...
to make him predict the thing actually happened
36
every year fewer and fewer...
words, and the range of consciousness always a little smaller
37
porns-
ec
38
true to the principles of doublethink, the party taught...
that the proles were natural inferiors who must be kept in subjection, like animals
39
a look in the eyes, an inflection...
of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word
40
no way of coming...
together or even identifying one another
41
the only evidence to the...
contrary was the mute protest in your own bones
42
the past was erased, the...
erasure forgotten, the lie became truth
43
and what was terrifying was not that they...
would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right
44
he might be ALONE (itl) in...
holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic
45
three hundred million...
people all with the same face
46
was the party's hold on the past less strong...
because of a piece of evidence which existed no longer had once existed?
47
the aim of the Party was not to merely prevent men and women from forming loyalties which...
it might not be able to control
48
in principle a party member had...
no spare time and was never alone except in bed
49
yes, everything is turned...
off. we are alone
50
there was nobody else...
in the street and no tele screens
51
the picture had fallen from the floor...
,uncovering the tele screen behind it
52
if there is hope...
it lies in the proles
53
until they become conscious they will never...
rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious
54
proles and animals...
are free
55
the party taught that the proles were natural inferiors who...
must be kept in subjection, like animals
56
the blue overalls of the Party could...
not be a common sight in a street like this
57
if there were anyone still alive who could give you a truthful account of the conditions...
in the early part of the century, it could only be a prole
58
[winston smith] slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansion, though not quickly...
enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.
59
the hallway smelt of boiled...
cabbage and old rag mats
60
at present the electric current was cut...
off during daylight hours... part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week
61
BIG BROTHER IS...
WATCHING YOU
62
[the tele screen] could be dimmed...
but there was no way of shutting it off completely
63
the patrols didn't matter, however. only...
the though police mattered
64
this was London, chief city of airstrip one,...
itself the third most populous of the provinces of oceania
65
he tried to squeeze out some childhood memory that would tell him...
whether London had always been like this. were there always vistas of rotting nineteenth-century houses... but it was no use
66
he set his features into the expression of...
quiet optimism which was advisable to wear when facing the telescreen
67
[victory gin] was like nitric acid... in swallowing it one had the sensation of...
being hit on the back of the head with a rubber club.
68
a thick, quarto-sized blank book with a red...
back and marbled cover... smooth, creamy paper
69
[the book] was a kind of thing that had not been...
manufactured for at least forty years past... it was a compromising possession
70
nothing was illegal, since there were...
no longer any laws, but if detected it was reasonably certain that it would be punished by death
71
the pen was an...
archaic instrument
72
for whom, it suddenly occurred to him to wonder...
was he writing this diary? for the future, for the unborn
73
how could you communicate with the...
future? it was of its nature impossible
74
all war films. one...
very good one [on refugees being bombed]
75
[in film] and the woman putting her arms round him and comforting...
him although she was blue with fright herself.
76
as if she thought her arms...
could keep the bullets off him
77
there was a wonderful shot of a child's arm...
going up up up right up into the air
78
nobody cares what the...
proles say
79
a narrow scarlet sash, emblem of the Junior Anti-Sex...
league was wound...[around her waist] just tightly enough to bring out the shapeliness of her hips.
80
he disliked nearly all women, and especially...
the young and pretty ones
81
[o'brien] had a certain...
charm of manner.... [on glasses habit] curiously civilised
82
he felt deeply drawn to him... merely a hope - that O'Brien's political....
orthodoxy was not perfect. something in his face suggested it irresistibly
83
as usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein, the...
Enemy of the People, had flashed onto the screen
84
[on Goldstein] somewhere or other he was...
still alive and hatching his conspiracies
85
[of Goldstein] he was denouncing the...
dictatorship of the Party
86
he was advocating freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of...
assembly, freedom of thought
87
there marched endless columns of the eurasian army - row after...
row of solid-looking men with expressionless Asiatic faces
88
the horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was...
obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in
89
within thirty seconds any pretence was...
always unnecessary
90
a hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in...
with a sledge-hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current
91
[on two minutes hate] turning one against one's will...
into a grimacing, screaming lunatic
92
his heart went out to the lonely, derided heretic...
on screen, sole guardian of truth and sanity in a world of lies
93
he would flog her to death with...
a rubber truncheon... he would ravish her and cut her throat at the moment of climax
94
[on B B chant] but it was still more of an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate...
drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise
95
DOWN WITH...
BIG BROTHER
96
the thought police would get him...
just the same.
97
he had committed... the essential crime that...
contained all other in itself. thoughtcrime
98
your name was removed from the registers every record of everything you had ever...
done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten... vaporized
99
one had the impression that there was...
dust in the creases of her face
100
'up with your hands!' yelled...
a savage voice [parsons boy]
101
it was somehow slightly frightening, like the gambolling of...
tiger cubs which will soon grow up into man-eaters
102
[hanging] happened once a month, and was...
a popular spectacle
103
but what most struck Winston was the look of helpless...
fright on the woman's greyish face
104
by means of such organisations as the Spies they were...
systematically turned into ungovernable little savages
105
it was almost normal for people over thirty to...
be frightened of their own children
106
we shall meet in the place where...
there is no darkness... it was O'Brien who had spoken to him out of the dark
107
[hym/song] oceania, 'tis...
for thee
108
somewhere far away a rocket bomb...
exploded with a dull, reverberating roar.
109
the sacred principles of Ingsoc. Newspeak,...
double-think, the mutability of the past
110
nothing was your own except the few...
cubic centimetres inside your skull
111
it was not by making yourself heard but by...
staying sane that you carried on the human heritage
112
he was already dead...
he reflected
113
[w writing] thoughtcrime does not entail...
death: thoughtcrime IS death
114
she was a tall, statuesque, rather...
silent woman with slow movements and magnificent fair hair
115
the two of them must have evidently been swallowed...
up in one of the first great purges of the fifties
116
[on mother and sister sinking in dream] only the knowledge that they must die in...
order that he might remain alive, and that this was part of the unavoidable order of things
117
his mother's death, nearly thirty years ago, had been tragic and sorrowful in a way...
that was no longer possible
118
she had sacrificed herself to a conception of...
loyalty that was private and unalterable
119
today there was fear, hatred and pain, but no...
dignity of emotion, no deep or complex sorrows
120
with its grace and carelessness it seemed to annihilate a whole...
culture, a whole system of thought
121
a gesture belonging...
to the ancient time
122
oceania was at war with Eurasia;...
therefore oceania had always been at war with Eurasia
123
if all records told the same tale - then the...
lie passed into history and became truth
124
who controls the past controls the future; who controls...
the present controls the past
125
that was the ultimate subtlety:...
consciously to induce consciousness
126
for some reason they were nicknamed...
memory holes...an automatic action
127
with a faint feeling of satisfaction...
...an intricate and responsible job
128
[into memory holes] with a movement which was nearly...
as possible unconscious
129
day by day and almost minute by...
minute the past was brought up to date
130
[w's written instructions] never stated or implied that an act of forgery was...
to be committed: always the reference was to slips, errors, misprints or misquotations... necessary to put right in the interests of accuracy
131
Winston's greatest pleasure in life...
was in his work
132
on occasion he had even been entrusted with the...
rectification of the times leading articles
133
a few lines of print and a couple of...
faked photographs would soon bring him into existence
134
it struck him as curious that you could...
create dead men but not living ones
135
[syme] we're cutting the language...
down to the bone
136
the whole aim of newspeak is to narrow...
the rang of thought... in the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible.... there will be no words in which to express it [syme]
137
the revolution will be complete when the...
language is perfect. newspeak is ingsoc and ingsoc is newspeak [syme]
138
orthodoxy is...
unconsciousness
139
in the neat handwriting of...
the illiterate
140
parsons sallowed it easily, with the...
stupidity of an animal [choclate ration propaganda]
141
he meditated resentfully on the...
physical texture of life [then lists out everything wrong with the world]
142
how easy it was... to believe that the physical type set up by the Party as an ideal - tall....
muscular youths and deep-bosomed maidens, blond-haired, vital, sunburnt, carefree - existed and even predominated
143
the smallest thing could give you away.....
...facecrime, it was called
144
a cigarette end must not be wasted ....
[end of chapter] the remaining tobacco fell our of Winston's cigarette
145
she had a young face, painted very...
thick. it was really the paint that appealed to me....Party women never paint their faces
146
your worse enemy, he...
reflected, was your own nervous system
147
the party was even inclined to encourage prostitution, as an outlet...
for instincts which could not be altogether suppressed
148
[prostitution] did not matter very much, so long as it was furtive and...
joyless, and only involved women of a submerged and despised class
149
its real, undeclared purpose was to remove...
all pleasure from the sexual act
150
the only recognised purpose of marriage was to...
beget children for the service of the Party
151
the Party was trying to kill the sex instinct, or, if it...
could not be killed, then to distort it and dirty it
152
[Katharine] a face that one might have called noble until one discovered...
that there was as nearly as possible nothing behind it
153
[Katharine] had without exception the most stupid, vulgar,...
empty ind that he had ever encountered
154
one was 'making a baby' and the other was...
'our duty to the party'
155
the women of the Party were all alike. Chastity was as deeply...
ingrained in them as Party loyalty
156
the sexual act, successful performed...
was rebellion. desire was thoughtcrime
157
the woman was OLD (itl). the paint was plastered so...
thick on her face that it looked as though it might crack, like a cardboard mask
158
but I went ahead and...
did it just the same
159
if there is hope, it lies...
in the proles
160
until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until...
after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious
161
[on proles consciousness line] that, he reflected, might almost have been a...
transcription from one of the Party textbooks
162
in reality very little was known about the...
proles. it was not necessary to know much.
163
as the party slogan put it: 'proles and animals...
are free
164
jus primae...
noctis
165
the past was erased, the erasure...
was forgotten, the lie became truth
166
the middle 'sixties, the period of...
the great purges
167
the original leaders of the Revolution were...
wiped out once and for all.... spectacular public trials at which they mad confessions of their crimes
168
[on jones, aaronson and rutherford] they were corpses waiting to be sent...
back to the grave
169
I understand HOW: I do...
not understand WHY
170
perhaps a lunatic was simply...
a minority of one
171
and what was terrifying was not that they would kill you...
for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right (in part 1)
172
if both the past and the external world exist only in the...
mind, and if the mind itself is controllable - what then?
173
the party told you to...
reject the evidence of your eyes and ears
174
[when writing] he knew, with more certainty than before, that...
o'brien was on his side.
175
freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make...
four. if that is granted, all else follows.
176
[when smelling real coffee whilst walking] for perhaps two seconds he was back in the...
half-forgotten world of this childhood
177
what had once been...
Saint Pancras Station
178
battered doorways... somehow...
curiously suggestive of rat holes [on pole homes]
179
a human hand... he kicked....
the thing into the gutter
180
absence of any real intercommunication between...
one part of Oceania and another
181
[paper weight] it's a beautiful...
thing - Winston
182
the hunting-down and...
destruction of books
183
an amateur spy actuated...
by officiousness
184
in front of him, also, was a human creature, in...
pain and perhaps with a broken bone. already he had instinctively started forward to help her
185
at the sight of the words I LOVE YOU (itl), the desire....
to stay alive had welled up in him
186
whichever way you turned,...
the telescreen faced you
187
there were printed postcards with long lists of...
phrases, and you struck out the ones that were inapplicable
188
if there was any relief,...
it was in his work
189
a statue of a man on horseback which was...
supposed to represent Oliver Cromwell
190
[Julia] with a sort of military precision...
that astonished him
191
foreigners, whether from Eurasia or from...
eastasia, were a kind of strange animal
192
and instead of the eye of the girl, the eyes of the aged....
prisoner gazed mournfully at Winston out of the nests of hair.
193
dappled light and shade...pools....
of gold
194
a vague idea that he would like to have a bunch....
of flowers to offer to the girl when they met
195
the sweetness of the air and...
the greenness of the leaves daunted him
196
sooty dust of London in...
the pores of his skin
197
always yell with the crowd, that's what...
I say. it's the only way to be safe [Julia talking]
198
for whom, for what, was that bird singing? no mate, no rival was...
watching it. what made it sit at the edge of the lonely wood and pour its music into nothingness?
199
anything that hinted at corruption always...
filled him with a wild hope
200
the animal instinct, the simple undifferentiated desire: that...
was the force that would tear the Party to pieces
201
but you could not have pure love or pure....
lust nowadays... everything was mixed up in fear and hatred
202
their embrace had been a battle... a blow struck against....
the party. it was a political act
203
she obviously had a practical cunning...
that Winston lacked
204
where an atomic bomb had...
fallen thirty years earlier
205
she was 'not clever', but was fond...
of using her hands and felt at home with machinery
206
the theory was that men, whose sex instincts were less controllable than those of...
women, were in greater danger of being corrupted by the filth they handled
207
you wanted a good time; 'they', meaning the Party,...
wanted you to stop having it. [julia's thoughts]
208
sex talks once a month...
for over-sixteens... they rub it into you for years
209
all this marching up and down and...
cheering is simply sex gone sour
210
the family had become in effect...
an extension of the thought police
211
the sex impulse was dangerous to the party, and...
the party had turned it to account
212
she did not understand that to push an...
inconvenient person over a cliff solves nothing
213
we are the dead... we're not dead...
yet, said Julia prosaically
214
the old fashioned clock with the...
twelve-hour face was ticking [in charrington's]
215
privacy, he said, was a...
very valuable thing [charrington]
216
there's been a lot of tea about lately. they've...
captured India, or something [Julia]
217
the improvement in her...
appearance was startling.
218
[paperweight] I don't think it was ever put to any use... its a little chunk....
of history that they've forgotten to alter. it's a message from a hundred years ago, if one knew how to read it
219
I wonder what...
a lemon was [Julia]
220
[the poster] represented simply the monstrous figure of a eurasian soldier....striding forward with...
expressionless Mongolian face and enormous boots,a sub-machine gun pointed from his hip
221
the proles, normally apathetic about the war, were being...
lashed into one of their periodical frenzies of patriotism [in hate week]
222
an old couple who were suspected of being of foreign...
extraction had their house set on fire and perished of suffocation
223
the process of life had...
ceased to be intolerable [thanks to room, Julia and sex]
224
[on debating on ways to escape] it was all nonsense, they both...
knew. in reality there was no escape
225
[julia's beliefs] and in any case the party was invincible. it would always...
exist, and it would always be the same. you could only rebel against it by secret disobedience... or isolated acts of violence
226
she only questioned the teachings of the Party...
when they in some way touched upon her own life
227
the difference between truth and...
falsehood didn't seem important to her
228
[Julia] it's always one bloody war after another, and one...
knows the news is all lies anyway.
229
i'm not interested in the next generation dear, i'm....
interested in US (itl)
230
you're only a rebel from...
the waist downwards
231
in a way, the world-view of the party imposed itself....
most successfully on people incapable of understanding it
232
they could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality ... never fully grasped the enormity of...
what was demanded of them and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening
233
by lack of understanding they....
remained sane
234
somewhat absentmindedly O'Brien felt two of his pockets and then produced...
a small leather-covered notebook and gold ink-pencil
235
the last step was something that would happen in the Ministry of Love. He had....
accepted it. the end was contained in the beginning
236
he had the sensation of stepping into the dampness of a grave, and it was not...
much better because he had always known that the grave was there and waiting for him
237
the periodical panic of air-raids...
and the sheltering in Tube stations
238
gangs of youths in shirts all the same colour, the..
enormous queues outside the bakeries, the intermittent machine-gun fire in the distance
239
he turned and Feld down the stairs...
with the chocolate growing sticky in his hand
240
he knew that he was starving the other two, but he...
could not help it; he even felt that he had a right to do it
241
the dream was still vivid in his mind, especially the enveloping, protecting gesture of the...
arm in which its whole meaning seemed to be contained
242
[on mother] yet she had possessed a kind of nobility, a kind of...
purity, simply because the standards that she obeyed were private ones. her feelings were her own and could not be altered from outside
243
the terrible thing that the Party had done was to persuade you that mere...
impulses, mere feelings, were of no account, while at the same time robbing you of all power over the material world
244
[people 2 generations ago] they were not attempting to alter history. they were...
governed by private loyalties which they did not question
245
[proles] they were not loyal to a party or a country or an....
idea, they were loyal to one another.... the proles had stayed human
246
we shall be utterly without power of any kind. the one thing that matters if that we shouldn't...
betray one another, although even that can't make the slightest difference
247
the richness of the dark-blue carpet gave one the impression...
of treading on velvet
248
the richness and spaciousness of everything, the unfamiliar smells of good food and good...
tobacco, the silent and incredibly rapid lifts sliding up and down, the white-jacketed servants hurrying to and fro
249
[passage] softly carpeted, with cream-papered walls and white wainscotting, all...
exquisitely clean... intimidating
250
Winston could not remember ever to have seen a passageway whose walls...
were not grimy from the contact of human bodies
251
yes, we can turn it off. we...
have that privilege [o'brien]
252
a dark red liquid...
...it's called wine, said O'Brien
253
he almost ignored Julia, seeming to take it for...
granted that Winston could speak for her
254
you are prepared to cheat, to forge, to blackmail, to corrupt the...
mind of children, to distribute habit-forming drugs, to encourage prostitution, to disseminate venereal diseases
255
it would somehow serve out interests to throw...
sulphuric acid in a child's face - are you prepared to do that?
256
very good cigarettes, very thick and well-packed...
with an unfamiliar silkiness in the paper
257
[on change to eastasia] it was sabotage! the...
agents of Goldstein had been at work!
258
[being called back to minitrue] the order already issuing from the telescreens....
recalling them to their posts, were hardly necessary
259
[on eastasia change] even the geographical knowledge that one needed in transferring...
the war from one part of the world to another was considerable
260
he was as anxious as anyone else in the Department...
that the forgery should be perfect
261
he was not troubled by the fact that every word he murmured into...
the speakwrite, every stroke of his ink-pencil, was a deliberate lie
262
absorption of Europe by Russia and of...
the British Empire by the United States [gb]
263
the ravages of the atomic war of the nineteen-...
fifties have never been fully repaired [gb]
264
if it at once became general, wealth...
would confer no distinction [gb]
265
the essential act of war is destruction, not...
necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour
266
but when war becomes literally...
continuous, it also ceases to be dangerous
267
reality only exerts its...
pressure through the needs of everyday life
268
so long as they are not permitted to have standards of...
comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed
269
nobody has ever...
seen big brother
270
the party is not concerned with perpetuating its...
blood but with perpetuating itself
271
[on proles and masses] they can be granted intellectual...
liberty because they have no intellect
272
the past is whatever the records...
