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
... people who'd led dull and blameless lives did not give thanks for second chances.
Kate Morton
Quite simply the book and I were meant to be together.
Kate Morton
Time had a way of moulding people into shapes they themselves no longer recognised.
Kate Morton
Nell was not one for friends and had never hidden her distaste for most other humans, their neurotic compulsion for the acquisition of allies.
Kate Morton
You make a life out of what you have, not what you're missing.
Kate Morton
Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down, before they knew their endings.
Kate Morton
Ah, well. Life's too short for moderation, wouldn't you say?
