“Sanity is not statistical.”
Winston says this after reading part of Golstein’s book. His meaning is just because the majority believes something as true, it is not necessarily correct. Reading the book gave Winston the feeling that he was not mad in thinking what he was about the Party. The Party could control what most of the public accepted as true, but that does not mean they could change what is right and was it not. In fact, the majority of the public could be insane and only a fraction of the people could be sensible.
