Aslında hiçbir şey değişmezdi,” dedi.
“O halde niçin pişmansın?”
“Olumluyu olumsuza yeğlerim de ondan. Oynadığımız bu oyunda, kazanmak söz konusu değil. Ama bazı yenilgiler ötekilerden daha iyidir, hepsi bu.

I think we should all live on the precipe of life, as fully and as dangerously as possible. Everyone should make the assumption that they're going through life only once. Tomorrow we die. Why not take chances, extend yourself? How awful it is when a person comes to the end of life full of regret.

Savaşın asıl yaptığı yok etmektir; ama ille de insanları yok etmesi gerekmez, insan emeğinin ürünlerini de yok eder. Savaş, halk kitlelerini fazlasıyla rahata erdirecek, dolayısıyla uzun sürede kafalarının fazlasıyla çalışmasını sağlayacak araç gereç ve donatımı paramparça etmenin, stratosfere yollamanın ya da denize göndermenin bir yoludur."..."Savaş uğraşı, ilke olarak, her zaman halkın basit gereksinimlerini karşıladıktan sonra geriye kalabilecek üretim fazlasını tüketecek biçimde tasarlanır.

Then the face of Big Brother faded away again and instead the three slogans of the Party stood out in bold capitals:
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Wealth and privilege are most easily defended when they are possessed jointly. The so-called ‘abolition of private property’ which took place in the middle years of the century meant, in effect, the concentration of property in far fewer hands than before: but with this difference, that the new owners were a group instead of a mass of individuals.

If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say of this or that event, it never happened—that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death?...But where did that knowledge exist? Only in his consciousness, which in any case must soon be annihilated...'Who controls the past,' ran the Party slogan,'controls the future:who controls the present controls the past.'...All that was needed was a series of victories over your own memory.

The paperweight was the room he was in, and the coral was Julia's life and his own, fixed in a sort of eternity at the heart of the crystal.

As soon as he touched her she seemed to wince and stiffen. To embrace her was like embracing a jointed wooden image. And what was strange was that even when she was clasping him against her he had the feeling that she was simultaneously pushing him away with all her strength.

He did not suppose, from what he could remember of her, that she had been an unusual women, still less an intelligent one; and 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 the outside. It would not have occurred to her that an action which is ineffectual thereby becomes meaningless. If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love.
