Leigh Brackett

There’s never been an act done since the beginning, from a kid stealing candy to a dictator committing genocide, that the person doing it didn’t think he was fully justified. That’s a mental trick called rationalizing, and it’s done the human race more harm than anything else you can name.

Leigh Brackett, The Long Tomorrow (1955), Chapter 14.
