Wouldn Difference Quote by Mira Grant

“Maybe if we'd had more information...It wouldn't have made a difference at all. Those doors were already locked. What was going to happen was already a foregone conclusion. All that could have changed is the details. Sometimes, it's the details that matter the most of all.” quote by Mira Grant
