'You would do evil to produce good?' asked Mr. Booker 'I do not call it doing evil. you have to destroy a thousand living things every time you take a glass of water, but you do not think of that when you are athirst. You cannot send a ship to sea without endangering lives. You do send ships to sea although men perish yearly. You tell me this man may perhaps ruin hundreds, but then again he may create a new world in which millions will be rich and happy.'

— Anthony Trollope   (1815 - 1882)

English Novelist
