Movie quotes

  • (..) I don't know. Better. (rack turns) (O'Brien) No one escapes, Winston. There are no martyrs here. All the confessions made here are true. We do not destroy the heretic because he resists us. As long as he resists us, we never destroy him. We make him one of ourselves before we kill him. (..)
