Who is that man over there? I dont know him. What is he doing? Is he a conspirator? Have you searched him? Give him till tomorrow to confess, then hang him! — hang him! – Oscar Wilde

It obscures our necessary understanding, all of us, that in this life there is often tragedy without reason. – Anthony Lewis
