More quotes by 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

Kate Morton

Kate Morton

Kate Morton
She'd slept terribly the night before. The room, the bed, were both comfortable enough, but she'd been plagued with strange dreams, the sort that lingered upon waking but slithered away from memory as she tried to grasp them. Only the tendrils of discomfort remained.
Kate Morton
... people who'd led dull and blameless lives did not give thanks for second chances.
Kate Morton
You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.
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
I am not a storyteller . . . not like the others. I only have one tale to tell.
Kate Morton
. . . companions were to be valued, wherever one found them.
Kate Morton
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but little girls usually fared much better.
Kate Morton
They say everyone needs something to love.
