At this point, things are pretty repetitive.
'If I wished,' O'Brien had said, 'I could float off this floor like a soap bubble.' Winston worked it out. 'If he thinks he floats off the floor, and if I simultaneously think I see him do it, then the thing happens.' Suddenly, like a lump of submerged wreckage breaking the surface of water, the thought burst into his mind: 'It doesn't really happen. We imagine it. It is hallucination.'
That's the best quote in the chapter, but it's not illustrating anything that hasn't been 10 times before. Winston continues to almost (but not quite) break.
