Do you see what I did here? :)
- Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.
- Who controls the past controls tomorrow. Who controls the present controls the past.
- Fighting is not fighting. To be free is to not be free. Not knowing makes us strong.
- The best books… are those that tell you what you know already.
- If you want to keep something hidden, you must also hide it from yourself.
- It was a bright cold day one month, and the time was ten and three.
- If you want a picture of tomorrow, imagine a foot kicking a human face—for ever.
- We will meet in the place where there is only light.
- But if thought breaks talking, talking can also break thought.
- Two-think means the power of holding two thoughts against each other in one’s mind at the same time, and accepting both of them.
- Until they start thinking they will never fight, and until after they have fought they can not start thinking.
- Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party wants power only to its own end. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested only in power, real power. What real power means you will understand one day soon. We are different from the people in control in the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who seemed like us, were scared and spoke two ways. The bad people and the other bad people came very close to us in their ways, but they never had the no-fear to see their own reason. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had taken power without want and for a small time only, and that just around the corner there lay a happy place where humans would be free and the same. We are not like that. We know that no one ever takes power with the want of giving it away. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not start an office in order to save a turn over; one makes the turn over in order to start the office. The point of pain is pain. The point of hurting is hurting. The point of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.
