Decision making Quote by James Rollins

“Are you sure, Gray?' He lifted his eyes. 'No . . . I'm not. I'm not sure of a damn thing.' He slipped his hands free of the monsignor's and peeled the battery off the phone, cutting the last ring in half. 'But that doesn't mean I won't act.” quote by James Rollins
