On page 113 Winston flattens out the piece of paper Julia had given him. There are only three words on the paper. They are "I love you". Why would the first words that Julia would ever say (or write to him) be these ones? Wouldn't she be afraid that he would report her to the government because she had passed notes? Wouldn't she regret saying (or writing) such powerful words?
My answer and interpretation: Julia later said that she knew, that she could read it in him, that Winston was not like the others. That he was different and rebellious. So the words were not only NOT random, but she knew that Winston wouldn't report her. Julia also wanted to have an impact on Winston, she wanted to leave an impression on him. These words have a lot of power, so I guess that if she wanted to have an impact on Winston, they would be the perfect ones. Also, they have never spoken, so Winston would probably be very curious about what she meant, and why she said (or wrote) it. This would make Winston want to know more about her, and find a way to talk or communicate to her.
