“பகைமை கொண்டு இயங்குபவன் விரைவில் வலிமை இழப்பான். பகை, சினத்தை மட்டுமே வளர்த்தெடுக்கும். போருக்கு தேவை சினமன்று. ஆனால், இதைத் தவிர மற்ற எல்லாவற்றையும் பகை பின்னுக்குத் தள்ளிவிடும்.”

“The citizen of Oceania is not allowed to know anything of the tenants of the other two philosophies, but he is taught to execrate them as barbarous, outrageous upon morality and common sense. Actually, the three philosophies are barely distinguishable, and the social systems which they support are not distinguishable at all. Everywhere there is the same pyramidal structure, the same worship or the semi-divine leader, the same economy existing by and for continuous warfare. It follows that three super states not only cannot conquer one another but would gain no advantage by doing so. On the contrary, so long as they remain in conflict they prop one another up like three sheaves of corn, and as usual, the ruling groups of all three powers are simultaneously aware and unaware of what they are doing. Their lives are dedicated to world conquest but they also know that it is necessary that the war should continue everlastingly and without victory.”
