Adults weren’t supposed to understand their children and you were doing something wrong if they did.
Kate Morton
Image
She hadn't wanted to be loved carefully, only well.
Kate Morton

Cassandra always hid when she read, though she never quite knew why. 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.

It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is.

The way to love is free.

Kate Morton
Image
The world was an awfully large place and it wasn't easy to find a person who'd gone missing sixty years earlier, even if that person was oneself.
Kate Morton
Image
After all, it's the librarian's sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
Image
A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself. Even with the means, she will find her courage wanting.
Kate Morton
Image
Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?
Kate Morton
Image
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
Image
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.

Oh, Grey, no one really likes keeping secrets. The only thing that makes a secret fun is knowing that you weren't supposed to tell it.

Happiness in life is not a given, it must be seized.

She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
