"Winston had disliked her from
the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason . It was because
of the atmosphere of hockey-fields and cold baths and community hikes and
general clean-mindedness which she managed to carry about her. He disliked
nearly all woman, and especially the young and pretty ones, who were the
most bigoted adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur
spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy"
- p.17
"He hated her because she was young
and pretty and sexless, because he wanted to go to bed with her and would
never do so, because round her sweet supple waist, which seemed to ask
you. to encircle it with your arm, there was only the odious scarlet sash,
aggressive symbol of chastity."
- p.33
"The girl with dark hair was coming
towards him across the field. With what seemed a single movement she tore
off her clothes and flung them disdainfully aside. Her body was white and
smooth, but it aroused no desire in him, indeed he barely looked at it.
What overwhelmed him in that instant was admiration for the gesture with
which she had thrown her clothes aside. With its grace and carelessness
it seemed to annihilate a whole culture, a whole system of thought, as
though Big Brother and the Party and the Thought Police could be all swept
into nothingness by a single splendid movement of the arm."
- p.113
"He rolled up the completed bundle
of work and slid it into the pneumatic tube. Eight minutes had gone by.
He re-adjusted his spectacles on his nose, sighed, and drew the next batch
of work towards him, with the scrap of paper on top of it. He flattened
it out. On it was written, in large informed
handwriting ... I love you"
- p.115
"The physical difficulty of meeting
was enormous. It was like trying to make a move at chess when you were
already mated. Whatever way you turned, the telescreen faced you. Actually,
all the possible ways of communicating with her had occurred to him within
five minutes of reading the note; but now, with time to think, he went
over them one by one, as though laying out a row of instruments on a table."
- p.128
" 'you are very young' he said 'you
are ten or fifteen years younger then I am. What could you see to attract
you in a man like me' ""
" 'it was something in your face.
I thought I'd take a chance. I'm good at spotting people who don't belong.
As soon as I saw you I knew you were against them.' "
- p. 131
"His heart leapt. Scores of times
she had done it: he wished it had been hundreds - thousands. Anything that
hinted at corruption always filled him with a wild hope. Who knew, perhaps
the Party was rotten under the surface, its cult of strenuousness and self-denial
simply a sham concealing iniquity."
- p. 132
"He pulled her down so that they were
kneeling face to face.
Listen. The more men you've
had, the more I love you. Do you understand that??
Yes perfectly.
I hate purity, I hate goodness!
I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be
corrupt to the bones."
- p 133
"No emotion was pure, because everything
was mixed up with fear and hatred. Their embrace had been a battle, the
climax a victory. It was a blow struck against the Party. It was a political
act."
- p. 145-146
"During the month that he had known
her the nature of his desire for her had changed. At the beginning there
had been little true sensuality in it. Their first love-making had been
simply an act of the will. But after the second time it was different.
The smell of her hair, the taste of her mouth, the feeling of her skin
seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all round him. She had become
a physical necessity, something that he not only wanted but felt that he
had a right to."
- p. 149
"I'm going to get hold of a real woman's
frock from somewhere and wear it instead of these bloody trousers. I'll
wear silk stockings and high-heeled shoes! In this room I'm going to be
a woman, not a Party comrade."
- p. 250
"If I could save Julia by doubling
my own pain, would I do it? Yes, I would"
- p. 271
"What is your first question
'What have you done with Julia'
said Winston.
O'Brien smiled again. 'She betrayed
you, Winston. Immediately-unreservedly. I have seldom seen
anyone come over to us promptly.
You would hardly recognise her if you saw her. All her
rebelliousness, her deceit,
her folly, her dirty-mindedness-everything has been burned out of her."
- p. 286
"You have whimpered for mercy, you
have betrayed everybody and everything. Can you think of a single degradation
that has not happened to you"
"Winston had stopped weeping, though
tears were still oozing out of his eyes. He looked up at O'Brien 'I have
not betrayed Julia,' he said."
- p. 300
"Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not
me! Julia! I don?t care what you do to her. Tear her face off, strip her
to the bones. Not me! Julia! Not me!"
- p. 305
" 'I betrayed you' she said badly
'I betrayed you' he said'
"
Winston could be seen a hero in the novel because he knew that his illegal love affair, that was an act of revolution, would be discovered by the Thought Police, but nonetheless he goes on naively.
Julia was someone who Winston could share his private emotions. When they were together it created a small world of feeling for themselves for a short period of time before they are betrayed.
Winston believes that his love with
Julia that will destroy the party.
