Unfortunately, pinpointing the exact page number for the quote "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake" in a Signet edition of Nineteen Eighty-Four is impossible without knowing the specific edition's printing details. Signet has published multiple editions over the years, and page numbers vary significantly between them. Even slight variations in formatting can affect page counts.
However, this quote appears in Part 1, Chapter 3, within a section where O'Brien is speaking to Winston about the Party's motivations. To find the quote, I recommend:
-
Checking the Table of Contents: The table of contents in your Signet edition will list the chapters and sub-sections. Look for Part 1, Chapter 3, and carefully read through that section.
-
Using a Search Function (if applicable): If you have a digital version of the Signet edition, use the search function to look for the exact quote.
-
Comparing to Online Texts: Many online versions of Nineteen Eighty-Four are available. Comparing the chapter and context with those online versions can help you locate the passage in your physical copy.
Because the page numbers are edition-specific, there's no universally applicable answer. You'll need to use these strategies to find the quote within your specific Signet edition.
