Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.

Lack of money means discomfort, means squalid worries, means shortage of tobacco, means ever-present consciousness of failure-above all, it means loneliness.

It is not possible for any thinking person to live in such a society as our own without wanting to change it.

The war is waged against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.

The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.
