"...war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word 'war,' therefore, has become misleading"(199).
This quote is significant because sort of relates back to when the theory is suggested that the rocket bombs are set off just to keep the people of Oceania living in fear. We learn that the war was never like war today, fighting over land, oil, and for power. We learn that the war is something created by the superpowers to keep society intact and running under their control. Even if there were to be a war for real reason, the superpowers are evenly matched and it would be like starting the cold war all over.
Blissful: completely happy and contented.
Interstellar: between or among stars.
