>>Nothing quite like the tyrant that knows what’s best for you...

The quote you are looking for is one of those on my FR profile page. The smug wench pictured is one of those omnipotent moral busybodies:

‘Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would 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.’’ — CS Lewis
