Katherine Ryan Quotes

Every cause produces more than one effect.

In an economy, an act, a habit, an institution, or a law, gives birth not only to an effect, but to a series of effects.

Every person's every action has an effect.

Everything we do impacts someone else's life.

'Saw VI' has a really interesting theme about the ripple effect. Everything you do affects the guy next to you, which affects the guy next to him, which affects her over here.
