1984 ch. 9 "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).

I chose this quote because I believe that it shows a change in Winston. He was once just living for himself alone, but now that he knows the woman loves him, he has more to live for. Also, Winston realizes that having a relationship with this woman will make the small things like missing a night at the Community Center irrelevant, as this has larger implications if they are caught.
