Quotes by Michael Northrop

“The easiest thing to do with something that was bothering you was always to make fun of it.”
― Michael Northrop, Gentlemen

12 likes

“I was thinking: Is this what love is, feeling like you've been spun around underwater? Forgetting how cold you are, until she looks up and you look down and you're embarrassed and the world comes rushing back in? Or is love not being able to get that image out of your head, the image of the moment right before she looked up?”
― Michael Northrop, Trapped
