"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 good will
torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own
conscience." -- C.S. Lewis
“Considerable
damage…has been done by scientists, among whom social scientists are perhaps
most notable, who exaggerate the amount of sound and applicable knowledge they
have and who offer confident solutions to social problems – solutions that,
when tried, turn out to be only a mixture of pious hope and insular moral
judgments.” – Charles Frankel.
