In the book 1984 by George Orwell, there are many distinctive quotes that pertain to Winston's life. A quote that has significant relevance to Winston’s life is, “Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull.” (Orwell 27) In this quote Winston realizes that the only thing that you had control over in your life is your own thoughts. Everything else was controlled by the Thought Police. Winston realized that there is no privacy in Oceania. Telescreens are placed all over Oceania to monitor the actions and conversations of the people, and to identify those who are against the party. Winston reveals during the two minutes hate that even the slightest change in your face in front of a Telescreen would give you away.
