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 from 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 one 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.”
