Kate Morton
Nighttime is different. Things are otherwise when the world is black. Insecurities and hurts, anxieties and fears grow teeth at night. p493
Kate Morton
That, my dear, is what makes a character interesting, their secrets.
Kate Morton
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but little girls usually fared much better.
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 did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
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.
Kate Morton
You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.
Kate Morton
