More quotes by Kate Morton
In real life turning points are sneaky. They pass by unlabeled and unheeded. Opportunities are missed, catastrophes unwittingly celebrated. Turning points are only uncovered later, by historians who seek to bring order to a lifetime of tangled moments.
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
Quite simply the book and I were meant to be together.

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
Sometimes, Edie, a person's feelings aren't rational. At least, they don't seem that way on the surface. You have to dig a little deeper to understand what lies at the base
Kate Morton
She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
Kate Morton
... for home is a magnet that lures back even its most abstracted children.
Kate Morton
It was such a pleasure to sink one's hands into the warm earth, to feel at one's fingertips the possibilities of the new season.
Kate Morton
Hope's one thing, expectation's quite another.
Kate Morton
Curiosity might have killed the cat, but little girls usually fared much better.
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
She either confused me with a much older child or else she glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's one sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
Reluctance to begin is quick to befriend procrastination. . . .
