As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.

About
Christopher Henry Dawson was a British historian, who wrote many books on cultural history and Christendom. He has been called "the greatest English-speaking Catholic historian of the twentieth century". He was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Oxford. He began publishing articles in The Sociological Review, in 1920. His first book, The Age of the Gods, was apparently intended as the first of a set of five tracing European civilisation down to the twentieth century; but this schematic plan was not followed to a conclusion.
