    I need help real quick for a paper I'm writing

    Does anyone have Orwell's book Nineteen Eighty-four handy?

    I need the quote for when it says at towards the end, where I think Winston is being tortured and they're trying to get him to agree to 2+2=5, and it says "We have always been at war with Eurasia."
    I need the exact quote, the page number, the publisher of the book and whether the book is titled as Nine Eighty-Four or 1984 and the address of the publisher.

    I would greatly appreciate it because I have to do a Kantian moral theory paper about Bush and his allowance of torture of terrorists in Guantanamo Bay or Abu Gharaib and I want to use the quote in my conclusion paragraph.

    Thanks to any who can help!

    I need this info because I loaned out my book to an ex co-worker and never got it back.

    Thanks!

    You're in luck. A friend got this for me for my birthday, so i'll grab it and look for you.
    The title is 1984
    It's published by  New American Library , a division of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. 375 Hudson St. New York, New York, 10014, USA.
    I'll keep working on the quote and page number for you if someone else doesn't come up with it.

    I found this on page 287-   A Eurasian army (Oceania was at war with Eurasia; Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia) was moving southward at a terrifying speed.
    And the 2+2=5 thing is on page 290.
    I don't think i'm entirely sure what you are looking for as I haven't actually read the book in a while. I read it in school a few years ago, but I haven't read the copy my friend got me since I was reading the other book she got me first, but couldn't finish it after the bag it was in got stolen from my car.
    I'll try to help you a bit more if you can give me a better idea of what exactly you're trying to find.

    I'm looking for when it just says (or so I thought, I could be wrong) "We have always been at war with Eurasia."
    And I think that's towards the end of him being tortured, after the 2+2=5 part. That part was one of the first parts of him being in room 101. The part where it says "We have always been at war with Eurasia" might even be after the torture.
    I'm sorry, I can't remember.

    I want to use it as a finishing comment in my conclusion paragraph because of the torture being done to Winston could be comparable to the torture that was done to the suspected terrorists for reasons that are similar (the keyword being "suspects").
    The thought is, you know, to get them to admit something that isn't true.

    er...perhaps I could use the 2+2=5 quote for that...
    I'm tired, which would you think would sound better or be more fitting? Because I could use the Eurasia quote in my OPINION of the subject (we have to include our opinion on the subject after we're done with the formal part of the paper) because that is how I kind of view the whole "war" in ways. Anyway, it's all brainwashing, I suppose it doesn't matter.


    Thanks for helping me!

    Oh, and what is the exact 2+2=5 quote?

    see, in the beginning of the book, I believe, Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Then towards the end they switched it to always being at war with Eurasia when Eurasia had always been an ally before. I'm almost positive the switch didn't happen until AFTER Winston and Julia had been caught though.
