Quotes by M.K. Gilroy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Anything strong enough to cure is strong enough to kill, in proportionate measure.”
M.K. Gilroy, Cold As Ice

“I don’t watch reality TV—though I have to admit I flipped channels one night and watched almost an hour of the Kardashians for the first time. But that was a car wreck I stumbled upon. I could not take my eyes from the carnage at the site, but it doesn’t mean I went looking for any more wrecks to ogle.”
M.K. Gilroy, Every Breath You Take: A Novel
