"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. ... We know that no one
ever seizes power with the intention or relinquishing it. Power is not a means,
it is an end. ... How does one mans assert his power over another ... By
making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering how can you
be sure he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is inflicting pain and
humiliation. ... A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of
trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more
merciless as it refines itself. ... If you want a picture of the future,
imaging a boot stamping on a human face--for ever."
