More quotes by Kate Morton
I've heard it said that children born to stressful times never shake the air of woe . . . .
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

Kate Morton
I am not a storyteller . . . not like the others. I only have one tale to tell.
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
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
Quite simply the book and I were meant to be together.
Kate Morton
After all, it's the librarian's sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
What could be more perfect than marrying the person you love.
Kate Morton
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but little girls usually fared much better.
Kate Morton
Gerry?' Laurel had to strain to hear thought the noise on the other end of the line. 'Gerry? Where are you?' 'London. A phone booth on Fleet Street.' 'The city still has working phone booths?' 'It would appear so. Unless this is the Tardis, in which case I'm in serious trouble.
Kate Morton
A twinge at the edge of her lips and she continued, the soft, slow lilt of recitation: Ancient walls that sing the distant hours.
Kate Morton
I'm good with words, but not the spoken kind I've often thought what a marvelous thing it would be if I could only conduct relationships on paper.
