Quote
"If there is hope [Wrote Winston] it lies in the proles."

Description of Quote
This quote seems like a realization by Winston that the party cannot be taken over from within. The Party does not have enough members for a revolution, therefor, the proles would have to be the ones to start a revolution against the Party. The one major obstacle to a revolution is the ignorance of the proles. The Party keeps the proles in the dark so as to stop a revolution before it starts. The Party government is just about flawless, it has enough members to keep the government up and running and those who are not members do not know enough to start a revolution.
