Kate Morton
Even the most pragmatic person fell victim at times to a longing for something other.
Kate Morton
In each man's heart there lies a hole. A dark abyss of need, the filling of which takes precedence over all else.

She'd slept terribly the night before. The room, the bed, were both comfortable enough, but she'd been plagued with strange dreams, the sort that lingered upon waking but slithered away from memory as she tried to grasp them. Only the tendrils of discomfort remained.
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
Time had a way of moulding people into shapes they themselves no longer recognised.
Kate Morton
She was the breeze on a summer's day, the first drops of rain when the earth was parched, light from the evening star.
Kate Morton
All true readers have a book, a moment when real life is never going to be able to compete with fiction again.
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
Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?
Kate Morton
The certainty that she would find what it was she sought just slipped away, until one night she knew there was nothing, no one waiting for her. That no matter how far she walked, how carefully she searched, how much she wanted to find the person she was looking for, she was alone - The Forgotten Garden
Kate Morton
