Well, first, part of the point is to let the readers interpret the quote themselves. So if you think it has to do with him killing Palps, that's possible. But for me, this quote connected to what we read in the ROTS novel. Mace was so determined to defeat Palpatine that he was sinking into Vaapad too much. In fighting the monster, he was allowing himself to become a monster and use the dark side. The question is if his good intentions made it justifiable to do this. That's the whole point of the quote. Nobody ever fights the monster intending to do wrong, but sometimes you start resorting to methods that turn you into a monster in the process.
It could also do with him almost killing Palps, though I've always felt that was actually the right move. I'd apply it more to the point in the battle, pretty much as shown in the picture, when Mace starts to slip towards the dark side in order to win. That's not really something you may get from the movie, but I think the novel points you in that direction.
