Book 2: Chapters 3-6

"Do you realize that the past, starting from yesterday, has been actually abolished? If it survives anywhere, it's in a few solid objects with no words attached to them, like that lump of glass there. Already we know almost literally nothing about the Revolution and the years before the Revolution. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the past is falsified, but it would never be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself. After the thing is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don't know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories. Just in that one instance, in my whole life, I did possess actual concrete evidence after the event – years after it."

Winston was thinking outside the box stating all the different things he believed happened to lost time or the past. He was explaining to Julia the difference between the process of what happens to the past and how the thought police doesn't want to make you think about the consequences or what the next day has in store. You basically can't be curious, question anything or else you get caught up in the past and the thought police is there watching your every move.

Book 2: Chapters 1-2

"Then the memory of her face came back, and with it a raging, intolerable desire to be alone. At the sight of the words I love you the desire to stay alive had welled up in him, and the taking of minor risks suddenly seemed stupid. It was not till twenty-three hours, when he was home and in bed – in the darkness, where you were safe even from the telescreen so long as you kept silent – that he was able to think continuously."

Winston was not really loving Julia but it was more of knowing he had someone. Since he was questioning whether or not he loved her or not. Since Julia is the one with the pants in the relationship and not Winston he feels like somehow he has to be with her no matter what. Almost like he is attached with her but in only a lust way.

Chapter 7-8

1984 Chapter 7-8

"It was as though some huge force were pressing down upon you – something that penetrated inside your skull, battering against your brain, frightening you out of your beliefs, persuading you, almost, to deny the evidence of your senses. In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable…what then?"

Since everyone felt watched they were all made to act a certain way which was obeying the government at all times. They stopped believing in things and started "persuading you" to be more of the same person as everyone else. Basically all of the people that acted suspiciously. Pretend someone was happy Big Brother looked at that as a disgrace because it isn't proper. Winston is basically complaining telling all and everything about how it feels to live in Oceania. I think Winston wanted to make the people understand that you cannot be yourself because the only person you are they throw away and make you the same as everyone else.

1984
Chapter One:
"In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest. People simply disappeared always during the night. Your name was removed from the registers, every record of everything you had ever done was wiped out, your one-time existence was denied and then forgotten. You were abolished, annihilated: vaporized was the usual word."

Explanation: I had to read it around two times to understand it. What i got from it was that the thought police was how it relates to the government as of now and the FBI is like that. The point of the thought police is to have everyone controlled and not fall out of place. They must have something hiding because they don't want the people to think about. It seems everyone has to watch out what they say or do. Everyone is defensive in everything they say do or act.
