More quotes by 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
And then he was kissing her, and she was struck by his nearness, his solidity, his smell. It was of the garden and the earth and the sun. When Cassandra opened her eyes, she realized she was crying. She wasn't sad, though, these were the tears of being found, of having come home after a long time away.

All true readers have a book, a moment when real life is never going to be able to compete with fiction again.
Kate Morton
... people who'd led dull and blameless lives did not give thanks for second chances.
Kate Morton
. . . companions were to be valued, wherever one found them.

You'll beat this. I know it doesn't feel like it, but you will. You're a survivor. I don't want to survive it. I know that, too, Nell had said. And it's fair enough. But sometimes we don't have a choice.

Kate Morton
The world was an awfully large place and it wasn't easy to find a person who'd gone missing sixty years earlier, even if that person was oneself.
Kate Morton
A true friend is a light in the dark. Viven
Kate Morton
I want to be independent. To meet interesting people. ... I just mean new people with clever things to say. Things I've never heard before. I want to be free. Open to whatever adventure comes along and sweeps me off my feet.
Kate Morton
Oh, Grey, no one really likes keeping secrets. The only thing that makes a secret fun is knowing that you weren't supposed to tell it.
Kate Morton
But in my humble opinion, a house needs a good party once in a while remind folks it exists.
Kate Morton
In each man's heart there lies a hole. A dark abyss of need, the filling of which takes precedence over all else.
Kate Morton
I am not a storyteller . . . not like the others. I only have one tale to tell.
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
