"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. "Think on you supporters of Gordon Brown, the EU and/or Barack Obama.
The quotation is of course from George Orwell's "1984"
