“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…
We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end.”
George Orwell, 1984
