More quotes by Kate Morton

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 did as she felt, and she felt a great deal.
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
All true readers have a book, a moment when real life is never going to be able to compete with fiction again.
Kate Morton
I'm good with words, but not the spoken kind I've often thought what a marvelous thing it would be if I could only conduct relationships on paper.
Kate Morton
Had any poet adequately described the wretched ugliness of a loved one turned inside out with grief?
Kate Morton
A girl expecting rescue never learns to save herself. Even with the means, she will find her courage wanting.
