Dumb guy Quote by Neil Gaiman

“He liked being big and strong. It gave him an identity. He’d been a shy, quiet, bookish kid, and that had been painful; now he was a big dumb guy, and nobody expected him to be able to do anything more than move a sofa into the next room on his own. Nobody until Laura, anyway.” quote by Neil Gaiman — Download Open image
