You might be able to find others but I’ve been teaching my students this one which can also be found on some literary sites

Winston's desire for connection is, "Do you believe in the possibility of a world where there is no darkness?" - This line, spoken during his secret affair with Julia, represents his longing for a genuine, shared experience outside the oppressive control of the Party. The question delves into his deep need for human connection

theres only 8 times in the book where the phrase "no darkness" is mentioned and i couldnt find the exact lines tigerian was talking about maybe he meant “We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness,” but its relatively the same for the connection between him and o'brien and like how he seeks connection to a different collective in order to rebel against big brother

the phrase appears in pages 32, 130, 225, 290, 308
