More quotes by Kate Atkinson
They said love made you strong, but in Louise's opinion it made you weak. It corkscrewed into your heart and you couldn't get it out again, not without ripping your heart to pieces.
Kate Atkinson
I am mad, I think. I am mad therefore I think. I am mad therefore I think I am.
Kate Atkinson
Ursula craved solitude but she hated loneliness, a conundrum that she couldn’t even begin to solve.
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 beginning is the word and the end is silence. And in between are all the stories.
Kate Atkinson
I was on the verge of something numinous and profound and in one more second the universe was going to crack open and arcana would rain down on my head like grace and all the cosmic mysteries were going to be revealed.

Kate Atkinson
Oh, God. What was happening to her, she was turning into a normal person.

Kate Atkinson

Kate Atkinson
Men had no purpose on earth whereas women were gods walking unrecognized among them.
Kate Atkinson

Kate Atkinson
Love was the hardest thing. Don't let anyone ever tell you different.
Kate Atkinson
The past is what you take with you.
Kate Atkinson
As I watch, the sky fills with clouds of snow feathers from every kind of bird there ever was and even some that only exist in the imagination, like the bluebirds that fly over the rainbow.
Kate Atkinson
She doesn't believe in dogs, Bridget said. Dogs are hardly an article of faith, Sylvie said.
Kate Atkinson
You must never believe everything they say about a person. Generally speaking, most of it will be lies, half-truths at best.
Kate Atkinson
I spent four years doing a doctorate in postmodern American literature. I can recognize it when I see it.
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
Become such as you are, having learned what that is.
