Nineteen Eighty-Four - Beauty and Despair in a Dystopian World
Winston Smith: [admiring a woman who sings a Party-made prole song]
She's beautiful.
Julia:
She's a metre across the hips, easily.
Winston Smith:
That's her style of beauty. The future is hers. We are the dead.
Julia:
We are the dead.
Big Brother:
You are the dead.
Big Brother:
Remain exactly where you are. Make no move until you are ordered.
Julia:
Now they can see us.
Big Brother:
Now we can see you. Clasp your hands behind your head. Stand back to back. Do not touch one another.
Winston Smith:
The house is surrounded.
Big Brother:
The house is surrounded.
Julia:
I suppose we may as well say good-bye.
Big Brother: [[w:Oranges and Lemons|Here comes a candle to light you to bed, here comes a chopper to chop off your head!]

Nineteen Eighty-Four - Call to Defend Oceania's Values and People
Big Brother: [images of protesters appear; a crowd chants "Eurasia, Eurasia."; Image of Goldstein appears]
This is our land --- a land of peace, and of plenty; a land of harmony and hope. This is our land: Oceania. These are our people: the workers, the strivers, the builders. These are our people --- the builders of our world, struggling, fighting, bleeding, dying --- on the streets of our cities, and on the far-flung battlefields, fighting against the mutilation of our hopes and dreams. Who are they? They are the dark armies --- the dark, murdering armies of Eurasia. In the barren deserts of Africa and India, in the oceans of Australasia, courage, strength, and youth are sacrificed --- sacrificed to barbarians whose only honour is atrocity. But even as we grasp at victory, there is a cancer, an evil tumour, growing, spreading in our midst. Shout. Shout! SHOUT OUT HIS NAME!
