“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?”

“تنشأ العاطفة بداخلنا في غفلة منا وغالباً ما يكون ذلك ضد ارادتنا. وبمجرد ما نتعمد الاحساس بها، لا تعود العاطفة عاطفة، بل تتحول إلى محاكاة عاطفة، وإلى استعراض لها. لكن هذا لا يعني أن الشخص الذي يحاكي عاطفة لا يحس بها. فالممثل الذي يؤدي دور الملك لير العجوز يشعر على الخشبة وأمام الجمهور بالحزن الصادق الذي يشعر به رجل مهجور عانى من الخيانة لكن هذا الشعور يتبخر لحظة نهاية التمثيل. لهذا فان االانسان العاطفي بعدما يبهرنا بمشاعره العظيمة، لا يلبث أن يحيرنا بلامبالاته الملغزة.”
