1984
The power is not a means, it is the ultimate goal. No one establishes a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; they make the revolution in order to establish a dictatorship. The aim of persecution is persecution itself. The aim of torture is torture. The aim of power is power. Now, do you begin to understand me?

Animal Farm
When it was all over, the animals who had remained behind, except for the pigs and the dogs, moved away all together. They were shocked and unhappy. They did not know what was more terrible - the betrayal of the animals who had allied with Snowball or the harsh punishment they had just witnessed. In the old days, they had often seen equally terrible scenes of bloodshed, but everything felt much worse now that it had happened among themselves. Since the day that Jones had left until that day, no animal had killed another animal.
