Kate Morton
I simply love writing good stories, that's my passion.
Kate Morton

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
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

Kate Morton
It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is. While one's child takes a part of one's heart to use and misuse as they please, a grandchild is different. Gone are the bonds of guilt and responsibility that burden the maternal relationship. The way to love is free.
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'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
She did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
Kate Morton
I want to be independent. To meet interesting people. ... I just mean new people with clever things to say. Things I've never heard before. I want to be free. Open to whatever adventure comes along and sweeps me off my feet.
Kate Morton
Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?
Kate Morton
Doors lead to things and I've never met one I haven't wanted to open.
Kate Morton
