Quotes from George Orwell, 1984

...the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.

The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.

Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." (Orwell, "1984")

To die hating them, that was freedom

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever.
