“A good cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminately murderous. A bad cause can become good if enough people fight for it in a spirit of comradeship and self-sacrifice. In the end it is how you fight, as much as why you fight, that makes your cause good or bad.”

Freeman Dyson (1923) theoretical physicist and mathematician

Context: A good cause can become bad if we fight for it with means that are indiscriminately murderous.
