Susie Boyt
“Jean’s capacity to bounce back in life always impressed me. The way she held herself in high regard. It was a form of personal, almost bodily optimism, you could say. Integrity that went deep and was to be admired. She knew herself well, of course, not just her likes and dislikes but the way her various wounds quickened things in her that might not help a situation. She put all her self-knowledge to good use. She had been kind to her weaknesses in life, and perhaps because of that they scarcely troubled her any more. They had come up in the world.”
Susie Boyt, Loved and Missed

Kate Morton
“Human beings are curators. Each polishes his or her own favoured memories, arranging them in order to create a narrative that pleases. Some events are repaired and polished for display; others are deemed unworthy and cast aside, shelved below ground in the overflowing storeroom of the mind. There, with any luck, they are promptly forgotten. The process is not dishonest: it is the only way that people can live with themselves and the weight of their experiences.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter

“Close your eyes and visualize the best possible outcome. When it’s not looking, grasp it by the neck and fling it into reality.”
Duchess Goldblatt, Becoming Duchess Goldblatt

“Each clock is unique,’ he used to tell me. ‘And just like a person, its face, whether plain or pretty, is but a mask for the intricate mechanism it conceals.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker’s Daughter

Susie Boyt
“You ever wish that you’d . . . ’ I waited for more, but her question politely disintegrated. But then, although no more words were forthcoming, she tilted her head slightly and suddenly what she’d asked me picked up its current and expanded wildly. I smiled a huge smile. ‘Of course I do. All the time!”
Susie Boyt, Loved and Missed
