"To persuade me that you can see five, or really to see them?" "Really to see them." "Again." "How many, Winston?" "I don't know." "Better." "No one escapes, Winston." "There are no martyrs here." "All the confessions made here are true." "We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us." "As long as he resists us, we never destroy him." "We make him one of ourselves before we kill him." "We make his brain perfect before we blow it out." "And then... when there is nothing left but sorrow and love of Big Brother... we shall lift you clean out of history." "We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere." "Nothing will remain of you." "Not a name in a register." "Not a memory in a living brain." "You will be annihilated in the past, as well as in the future." "Three thousand." "This time it won't hurt you." "Before we bring this session to an end..." "I want you to ask me your questions." "I want you to clear your mind." "Julia." "She betrayed you, Winston... immediately, unreservedly." "All her rebellion, deceit, folly, dirty-mindedness... has been turned out of her." "Does Big Brother exist?" "Of course." "The same way as me?" "You do not exist." "You've not asked me the question that is uppermost in your mind." "You know what is in Room 101." "Everyone knows what's in Room 101." "Now... fix your eyes on mine." "What country is Oceania at war with?" "I don't remember." "Oceania is at war with Eastasia." "Do you remember that now?" "Yes." "How many fingers am I holding up?" "Five." "You see, at least, that it is possible." "You've understood the reality of the past... and of the present." "Now for the future." "A question:" ""How does one man assert power over another?"" "By making him suffer." "Exactly." "Obedience is not enough." "Power is inflicting pain and humiliation." "Otherwise, you cannot be sure." "Power is tearing human minds apart... and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing." "Power is not a means, it is an end." "In our world, there will only be triumph and self-abasement." "Everything else, we shall destroy." "The past is forbidden." "Why?" "Because when we can cut man from his own past... then we can cut him from his family, his children, other men." "There is no loyalty, except loyalty to the Party." "There is no love, except love of Big Brother." "All competing pleasures, we will destroy." "If you want a vision of the future, imagine... a boot stamping on a human face forever." "You are thinking that my face is old and tired... that while I talk of power..." "I'm unable to prevent the decay of my own body." "But the individual is only a cell." "And the weariness of the cell is the vigor of the organism." " You'll fail." " Why?" "It's impossible." "Hatred, the fear of life." "Why is hate less vital than love?" "I don't know." "But somehow you'll fail." "Something will defeat you." "Life will defeat you." "We control life at all levels." "We create human nature." "Men are infinitely malleable." "Or perhaps you've returned to your old idea that the proletarians will arise." "Put it out of your mind." "They are helpless animals." "Humanity is the body." "I don't care." "In the end, they'll beat you." "Sooner or later, they'll tear you to pieces." "On what evidence?" "Goldstein's book." "I wrote it." "Or, at least, I collaborated in writing it." "No book is individually produced, as you know." "I just believe it." "I know you'll fail." "Something in this world... some spirit you will never overcome"... "" "What is it, this principle?" "I don't know." "The spirit of man." "And do you consider yourself a man?" "Yes." "If you are a man, you're the last man." "Your kind is extinct." "We are the inheritors." "Do you understand that you are alone?" "You are outside history." "You unexist." "Get up." "Come here." "Look at you." "You're rotting away." "That is the last man." "If you are human, that is humanity." "It will not last forever." "You can escape from it whenever you choose." "Everything depends on you." "You did it." "You reduced me to this." "No, Winston." "You reduced yourself to it." "When will you shoot me?" "Might take a long time." "But don't give up hope." "Everyone is cured sooner or later." "And in the end... we shall shoot you." "The law of gravity is nonsense." "No such law exists." "If I think I float... and you think I float... then it happens." "I love you." "You have the strength, Winston." "You have the whole Party." "You are the Party." "You're one of us, one of the chosen." "I love you." "I love you, too." "Julia, my love." "Get up." "Stand up straighter." "Look me in the face." "Tell me, Winston, and remember, no lies." "What are your true feelings towards Big Brother?" " I hate him." " You must love him." "It's not enough to obey him." "You must love him." "Room 101." "You asked me once, Winston, what was in Room 101." "I told you that you knew, already." "Everyone knows." "The thing that is in Room 101... is the worst thing in the world." "It goes beyond fear of pain or death." "It is unendurable, and it varies from individual to individual." "It may be burial alive or castration... or many other things." "In your case, it is rats." "No." "Please." "What do you want me to do?" "You will do what is required of you." "What?" "What is it?" "How can I do it if I don't know what it is?" "In the proletarian areas, they will attack a baby... and within five minutes, strip it to the bone." "They also attack the sick and dying." "They show astonishing intelligence in knowing when a human being is helpless." "Please." "The mask fits over your head, leaving no exit." "I press the first lever... and the rats move into the front compartment." "I press the second, and the door of the cage will slide up." "These starving brutes will shoot at you like bullets." "Have you ever seen a rat leap through the air?" "They will leap onto your face and bore straight into it." "Sometimes they attack the eyes first." "Sometimes they burrow through the cheeks and devour the tongue." "Tell me." "What do you want?" "No, please." "I love you." "Do it to her!" "Do it to Julia!" "I don't care what you do to her, but do it to her!" "Tear her my face off!" "Do it to Julia, not to me!" "Do it to Julia!" "Not me!" "A vast military buildup has been reported in the Sahara Desert... in Sectors 17 and 18 of the war zones." "That is the end of the announcement." "Brother." "On the house." "Thank you for coming." "You are warned to stand by for an important announcement at 15... 30." "This is news of the gravest national consequence... concerning the war with Eurasia." "15... 30." "Are you worried about the African front?" "The news is disquieting in the extreme." "I've been worrying about it all day." "It's not just a question of losing Africa." "For the first time, the territory of Oceania itself is threatened by invasion." "It's inconceivable." "It must have been possible to outflank them in some way." "I have an instinct." "There's bad news on the way." "I told them all about you." "I'm only thankful they got me before it was too late." "Yes, I told them about you, too." "Thoughtcrime... sexcrime, all your treachery." "I have a meeting to go to." "We must meet again." "Yes." "We must meet again." "I accuse myself of the following crimes..." "I have seduced Party members of both sexes..." "I've been to the proletarian areas..." "I deliberately contracted syphilis in order to spread the disease... to my wife and other Party members." "Together with other agents, I have counterfeited banknotes... wrecked industrial machinery, polluted the water supply... guided Eurasian rocket bombs to targets on Airstrip One... by means of coded radio signals." "I stand here, a victim of the influence of Emmanuel Goldstein." "Guilty on all counts." "I'm glad I was caught." "I was mentally deranged." "Now I am cured." "I ask only for you to accept my love of our leader." "I ask only to be shot while my mind is still clean." "A glorious victory!" "A vast, strategic maneuver to outflank... the Eurasian Forces on the African front has been successful." "Perfectly coordinated, it has resulted in the utter rout of the Eurasian Army." "There have been nearly a million prisoners." "It has been an utter rout." "Waiter?" "This immense victory brings the war within measurable distance of its end." "Wonderful news." "I love you."
