“But when a war becomes literally continuous, it also ceases to be dangerous. The effect would be much the same if the three superstates, instead of fighting one another, should agree to live in perpetual peace, each inviolate within its own boundaries. A peace that was truly permanent would be the same as a permanent war.” — George Orwell
