"Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally... Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia." -George Orwell, 1984

The War Is Not Meant To Be Won

 
 "The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance... The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact."  -George Orwell, 1949, from "1984"
