1984 Quote

I did not get to share my quote in class so here is mine, it is found on page 80 when winston was talking to himself about how big brother changes the past and he says "I understand HOW: I don not understand Why." I chose this quote because it shows that winston realizes what they are doing but has been so brainwashed that he can't understand why somebody would want to do change the past

My favorite quote from 1984 is found on page 24 about half way down the page. It states:

"With those children, he thought, that wrteched woman must lead a life of terror. Another year, two years, and they would be watching her night and day for symptoms of unorthodoxy. Nearly all children nowadays were horrible."

This quote astounds me. I can't imagine a day where the government would turn children into spies in an effort to keep tabs on their parents. Its a very frightening thought that government could in some way overrule the basic sense of loyalty a child feels for its parents and turn them into spies that would rat their parents out without a second thought.
