"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Often this is given as "Good people..."
I have been unable to source this back to a specific piece of GO's prose. Have encountered the opinion that it is not an actual GO quotation.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

flag abuse
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review. We take abuse seriously in our discussion boards. Only flag comments that clearly need our attention. As a general rule we do not censor any content on the site. The only content we will consider removing is spam, slanderous attacks on other members, or extremely offensive content (eg. pornography, pro-Nazi, child abuse, etc). We will not remove any content for bad language alone, or being critical of a particular book.William Gibson's blog
