Amnesia Quote by Pamela Branch
![“I don't believe for one moment that I killed him [...] But if I didn't, somebody else did. I must appoint myself Investigator. I must catch this malefactor, this pig. And if at any time it looks as if I am going to catch myself, I can always accept my resignation.” quote by Pamela Branch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c31/pamela-branch-66849_amnesia_i-don-t-believe-for-one-moment-that-i-ki_1066684.jpg)
