"Do you believe in God, Winston?"
"No."
"Then what is it, this principle that will defeat us?"
"I don't know. The Spirit of Man."
"And do you consider yourself a man?"
"Yes."
"If you are a man, Winston, you are the last man. Your kind is extinct; we are the inheritors. Do you understand that you are alone? You are outside history. You are non-existent."

I love this conversational exchange which I believe underscores Winston's major strengths: he is a very bright man who refuses to surrender his individuality.

Good luck. I had fun answering this question because I loved the book when I read it a million years before 1984. LOL Please read it, you won't regret it.
