Kate Morton
She either confused me with a much older child or else she glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's one sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.
Kate Morton
I love the structural part of the writing process.
Kate Morton
Ah, well. Life's too short for moderation, wouldn't you say?
Kate Morton
Mother didn't understand that children aren't frightened by stories that their lives are full of far more frightening things than those contained in fairy tales.
Kate Morton
She felt like a fictional character who'd escaped the book in which her creator had carefully and kindly trapped her, taken a pair of scissors to her outline and leaped, free.
Kate Morton
... for home is a magnet that lures back even its most abstracted children.
Kate Morton
A true friend is a light in the dark. Viven
