More quotes by 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
That, my dear, is what makes a character interesting, their secrets.
Kate Morton
Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?
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
She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
Kate Morton
I simply love writing good stories, that's my passion.
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
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'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
... for home is a magnet that lures back even its most abstracted children.
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.
