More quotes by 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 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.
Kate Morton

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

Kate Morton
They say everyone needs something to love.
Kate Morton

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
Happiness in life is not a given, it must be seized.
Kate Morton
The girl in the mirror caught my eye briefly...It is an uncanny feeling, that rare occasion when one catches a glimpse of oneself in repose. An unguarded moment, stripped of artifice, when one forgets to fool even oneself.
Kate Morton
Reluctance to begin is quick to befriend procrastination. . . .
Kate Morton
Ah, well. Life's too short for moderation, wouldn't you say?
Kate Morton
I've heard it said that children born to stressful times never shake the air of woe . . . .
Kate Morton
Even the most pragmatic person fell victim at times to a longing for something other.
