"They can't get inside you. If you can feel that staying human is worthwhile, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them." (Page 166).
This passage is taken from a discussion between Winston and Julia. They come to the conclusion that their love for one another cannot be taken away by the Inner Party. Orwell has this conversation occur to ironically foreshadow that the Inner Party does in fact get inside of them. After they both have been physically tortured, they do not care for one another and lose touch with being human.
