Quote by Anthony Lewis
The search for conspiracy only increases the elements of morbidity

The search for conspiracy only increases the elements of morbidity and paranoia and fantasy in this country. It romanticizes crimes that are terrible because of their lack of purpose. It obscures our necessary understanding, all of us, that in this life there is often tragedy without reason. – Anthony Lewis
