English critic and novelist; author of theological works and of books for children (1898-1963)
"Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may 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 goodwilltorment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
