More quotes by Kate Morton

Let herself drop through the rabbit hole and into a tale of magic and mystery.
Kate Morton
Mother didn't understand that children aren't frightened by stories that their lives are full of far more frightening things than those contained in fairy tales.
Kate Morton
Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?
Kate Morton
You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.
Kate Morton
While I wasn't certain how I felt about spiritualists, I was certain enough about the type of people who were drawn to them. Only people unhappy in the present seek to know the future.
Kate Morton
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
After all, it's the librarian's sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
