1984 by George Orwell

"It would be possible to get inside that glassy world, and that once inside it time could be arrested."

"What you say or do doesn't matter: only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you -- that would be the real betrayal.'"

"But if the object was not to stay alive but to stay human, what difference did it ultimately make? They could not alter your feelings: for that matter you could not alter them yourself, even if you wanted to. They could lay bare in the utmost detail everything that you had done or said or thought; but the inner heart, whose workings were mysterious even to yourself, remained impregnable."

"Why should the fruit be held inferior to flower?."

"If you want to keep secret, you must hide it also from yourself."
