He was already dead, he reflected

It felt as if it was only now that he had made the decisive step

he had finally begun to be able to formulate his thoughts

The consequences of every act are included in the act itself

Winston wrote in his diary:

"Thoughtcrime does not entail death; thoughtcrime IS death."

he had recognized himself as a dead man

now it became important to stay alive as long as possible

Two fingers of his right hand were inkstained

It was exactly the kind of detail that might betray you
