More quotes by Kate Atkinson
She was a terrible mother, there was no doubt about it, but she didn't even have the strength to feel guilty.
Kate Atkinson
I did feel when my mother died if anyone was going to haunt me it would be her. And she hasn't, so I think it is possibly the end.
Kate Atkinson
Time was a thief, he stole your life away from you and the only way you could get it back was to outwit him and snatch it right back.
Kate Atkinson
The beginning is the word and the end is silence. And in between are all the stories.
Kate Atkinson
Not being published would be great. When I say that to other writers they look at me as if I'm totally insane.
Kate Atkinson
Patricia embraces me on the station platform. 'The past is what you leave behind in life, Ruby,' she says with the smile of a reincarnated lama. 'Nonsense, Patricia,' I tell her as I climb on board my train. 'The past's what you take with you.
Kate Atkinson
Because I write fiction, I don't write autobiography, and to me they are very different things. The first-person narrative is a very intimate thing, but you are not addressing other people as 'I' - you are inhabiting that 'I.'
Kate Atkinson
Probably not needing to be published would give me more time to think about a book.
Kate Atkinson
She should have done science, not spent all her time with her head in novels. Novels gave you a completely false idea about life, they told lies and they implied there were endings when in reality there were no endings, everything just went on and on and on.
Kate Atkinson
The past is what you take with you.
Kate Atkinson
He was born a politician. No, Ursula thought, he was born a baby, like everyone else. And this is what he has chosen to become.
Kate Atkinson
(although anyone with half a brain must surely be mired in existential gloom all the time)
Kate Atkinson
I spent four years doing a doctorate in postmodern American literature. I can recognize it when I see it.
Kate Atkinson
No point in thinking, you just have to get on with life. We only have one after all, we should try and do our best. We can never get it right, but we must try.
Kate Atkinson
You can step in the same river but the water will always be new.
Kate Atkinson
I am mad, I think. I am mad therefore I think. I am mad therefore I think I am.
Kate Atkinson
The great thing about writing compared to life is getting to tie things up.
Kate Atkinson
I feel as if I’m waiting for something dreadful to happen, and then I realize it already has.
Kate Atkinson
Men had no purpose on earth whereas women were gods walking unrecognized among them.
Kate Atkinson
I don't have goals when writing books, apart from getting to the end. I have rather vague ideas about how I want things to feel, I'm big on ambience. I have a title, a beginning and a probable ending and go from there.
