More quotes by Kate Morton
Quite simply the book and I were meant to be together.
Kate Morton
I love the structural part of the writing process.
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
You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.
Kate Morton
Even the most pragmatic person fell victim at times to a longing for something other.
Kate Morton
She hadn't wanted to be loved carefully, only well.
Kate Morton
She doesn't know I cry for the changing times. That just as I reread favourite books, some small part of me hoping for a different ending, I find myself hoping against hope that the war will never come. That this time, somehow, it will leave us be.
Kate Morton
It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down.
Kate Morton
All true readers have a book, a moment when real life is never going to be able to compete with fiction again.
Kate Morton
I am not a storyteller . . . not like the others. I only have one tale to tell.
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
In real life turning points are sneaky. They pass by unlabeled and unheeded. Opportunities are missed, catastrophes unwittingly celebrated. Turning points are only uncovered later, by historians who seek to bring order to a lifetime of tangled moments.
Kate Morton
Happiness in life is not a given, it must be seized.
Kate Morton
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. Let herself drop through the rabbit hole and into a tale of magic and mystery.
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
. . . companions were to be valued, wherever one found them.
Kate Morton
But everyone's an expert with the virtue of hindsight . . . .
Kate Morton
Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down, before they knew their endings.
Kate Morton
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but little girls usually fared much better.
Kate Morton
She was the breeze on a summer's day, the first drops of rain when the earth was parched, light from the evening star.
