Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its

victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under

robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber

baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point

be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment

us without end for they do so with the approval of their own

conscience.

-- C. S. Lewis17
