The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself – anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offence." and a doubleplusinterdasting quote: "Winston kept his back turned to the telescreen. It was safer, though, as he well knew, even a back can be revealing."
