Quote: "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"(109).
Significance: This quote is significant because it is a major turning point for Winston. In part one of the story, Winston had mentioned that he hated women. Now he tells us that he can not live without the woman he once wanted to smash her head into a cobblestone. Before he dreamed about her body and that's all he really wanted. He wants something more than her body now. For some reason I believe he will get into trouble if he keeps falling for this woman. Loving someone is something that makes you hope and desire. She gives him a reason to live and that is what Winston hopes and desires for is to live. Now he has a purpose too. There is something wrong with this because it is weird for someone to fall in love with someone else whom they have never gotten to know. They do not really know what the other person is like. Right? That is why I think that this quote is maybe foreshadowing Winston's death or him getting into serious trouble.
