More quotes by Kate Morton
The stretch of years leaves none unmarked: the blissful sense of youthful invincibility peels away and responsibility brings its weight to bear.
Kate Morton
She either confused me with a much older child or else she glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's one sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
But everyone's an expert with the virtue of hindsight . . . .
Kate Morton
She's one of the few people able to look beyond the lines on my face to see the twenty-year-old who lives inside.
Kate Morton
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but little girls usually fared much better.
Kate Morton
Reluctance to begin is quick to befriend procrastination. . . .
Kate Morton
Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down, before they knew their endings.

Cassandra always hid when she read, though she never quite knew why. It was as if she couldn't shake the guilty suspicion that she was being lazy, that surrendering herself so completely to something so enjoyable must surely be wrong. But surrender she did.

Kate Morton

Kate Morton
Mother didn't understand that children aren't frightened by stories that their lives are full of far more frightening things than those contained in fairy tales.
Kate Morton
Nell was not one for friends and had never hidden her distaste for most other humans, their neurotic compulsion for the acquisition of allies.
Kate Morton
I am not a storyteller . . . not like the others. I only have one tale to tell.
Kate Morton
There's a market for mysteries for adults. That feeling of opening a book and delving inside and not coming out until you've closed the book.
Kate Morton
Even the most pragmatic person fell victim at times to a longing for something other.
Kate Morton
You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.
Kate Morton
Doors lead to things and I've never met one I haven't wanted to open.
Kate Morton
The certainty that she would find what it was she sought just slipped away, until one night she knew there was nothing, no one waiting for her. That no matter how far she walked, how carefully she searched, how much she wanted to find the person she was looking for, she was alone - The Forgotten Garden
Kate Morton
... for home is a magnet that lures back even its most abstracted children.
Kate Morton
Time had a way of moulding people into shapes they themselves no longer recognised.
