NOW I WILL TELL YOU THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. IT IS THIS. THE PARTY SEEKS POWER ENTIRELY FOR ITS OWN SAKE. WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE GOOD OF OTHERS; WE ARE INTERESTED SOLELY IN POWER, PURE POWER. WHAT PURE POWER MEANS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND PRESENTLY. WE ARE DIFFERENT FORM THE OLIGARCHIES OF THE PAST IN THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING. ALL THE OTHERS, EVEN THOSE WHO RESEMBLED OURSELVES, WERE COWARDS AND HYPOCRITES. THE GERMAN NAZIS AND THE RUSSIAN COMMUNISTS CAME VERY CLOSE TO US IN THEIR METHODS, BUT THEY NEVER HAD THE COURAGE TO RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN MOTIVES. THEY PRETENDED, PERHAPS THEY EVEN BELIEVED, THAT THEY HAD SEIZED POWER UNWILLINGLY AND FOR A LIMITED TIME, AND THAT JUST AROUND THE CORNER THERE LAY A PARADISE WHERE HUMAN BEINGS WOULD BE FREE AND EQUAL. WE ARE NOT LIKE THAT. WE KNOW THAT NO EVER SEIZES POWER WITH THE INTENTION OF RELINQUISHING IT. POWER IS NOT A MEANS; IT IS AN END. ONE DOES NOT ESTABLISH A DICTATORSHIP IN ORDER TO SAFEGUARD A REVOLUTION; ONE MAKES THE REVOLUTION IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE DICTATORSHIP. THE OBJECT OF PERSECUTION IS PERSECUTION. THE OBJECT OF TORTURE IS TORTURE. THE OBJECT OF POWER IS POWER. NOW YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND ME.--George Orwell FREEDOM IS THE RIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO HEAR.--George Orwell THE FURTHER A SOCIETY DRIFTS FROM TRUTH THE MORE IT WILL HATE THOSE WHO SPEAK IT.--George Orwell IN OUR AGE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS KEEPING OUT OF POLITICS. ALL ISSUES ARE POLITICAL ISSUES, AND POLITICS ITSELF IS A MASS OF LIES, EVASIONS, FOLLY, HATRED AND SCHIZOPHRENIA.--George Orwell THE NATIONALIST NOT ONLY DOES NOT DISAPPROVE OF ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY HIS OWN SIDE, BUT HE HAS A REMARKABLE CAPACITY FOR NOT EVEN HEARING ABOUT THEM.--George Orwell CIRCUS DOGS JUMP WHEN THE TRAINER CRACKS HIS WHIP, BUT THE REALLY WELL-TRAINED DOG IS THE ONE THAT TURNS HIS SOMERSAULT WHEN THERE IS NO WHIP.--George Orwell JOURNALISM IS PRINTING WHAT SOMEONE ELSE DOES NOT WANT PRINTED. EVERYTHING ELSE IS PUBLIC RELATIONS.--George Orwell IN AN AGE OF UNIVERSAL DECEIT, TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT.--George Orwell THE CREATURES OUTSIDE LOOKED FROM PIG TO MAN, AND FROM MAN TO PIG, AND FROM PIG TO MAN AGAIN: BUT ALREADY IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY WHICH WAS WHICH.--George Orwell I ENJOY TALKING TO YOU. YOUR MIND APPEALS TO ME. IT RESEMBLES MY OWN MIND EXCEPT THAT YOU HAPPEN TO BE INSANE.--George Orwell SERIOUS SPORT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FAIR PLAY. IT IS BOUND UP WITH HATRED, JEALOUSY, BOASTFULNESS, DISREGARD OF ALL RULES AND SADISTIC PLEASURE IN WITNESSING VIOLENCE. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS WAR MINUS THE SHOOTING.--George Orwell EVERY GENERATION IMAGINES ITSELF TO BE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THE ONE THAT WENT BEFORE IT, AND WISER THAN THE ONE THAT COMES AFTER IT.--George Orwell IN THE END...EVERY CONCEPT THAT CAN EVER BE NEEDED, WILL BE EXPRESSED BY EXACTLY ONE WORD, WITH ITS MEANING RIGIDLY DEFINED AND ALL ITS SUBSIDIARY MEANINGS RUBBED OUT AND FORGOTTEN...EVERY YEAR FEWER AND FEWER WORDS, AND THE RANGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS ALWAYS A LITTLE SMALLER.--George Orwell
