1984

[Lecter]

April the 4th, 1984. To the past, or to the future. To an age when thought is free. From the Age of Big Brother, from the Age of the Thought Police, from a dead man... greetings.

[Lecter]

If you want a vision of the future, Winston, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever.

[Lecter]

Thoughtcrime is death. Thoughtcrime does not entail death. Thoughtcrime IS death. I have committed even before setting pen to paper the essential crime that contains all others unto itself.

[Lecter]

Beautiful thing, the destruction of words.

[Lecter]

Under the spreading chestnut tree / I sold you / You sold me.

[Lecter]

Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clements...
What was that?
Something old...

[Lecter]

What are your feelings towards Big Brother?
I hate him.
You must love him. It is not enough to obey him. You must love him.

[Lecter]

I know you'll fail. Something in this world... some spirit you will never overcome...
What is it, this principle?
I don't know. The spirit of man.
And do you consider yourself a man?
Yes.
If you're a man, Winston, you're the last man. Your kind is extinct. We are the inheritors. Do you realize that you are alone? You are outside history. You unexist. Get up.
[Winston gets up and O'Brien shows him his reflection in a mirror. Winston is disheveled and beaten]
That is the last man. If you are human, that is humanity.

[Lecter]

Power is tearing human minds apart and putting them back together in new shapes of your own choosing.

[Lecter]

You once asked me, Winston, what was in room 101. I think you know. Everyone does. The thing that is in room 101... is the worst thing in the world.

[Lecter]

Freedom is the freedom to say two plus two equals to five. If that is granted all else will follow.
