Kate Morton
“Love—that’s what she felt, an odd, strong, general love that seemed to flow from everything she saw and heard: the sunlit leaves, the dark hollows beneath the trees, the stones of the house, the birds that called as they flew overhead. And in its glow, she glimpsed momentarily what religious people must surely feel at church: the sense of being bathed in the light of certainty that comes with being known from the inside out, from belonging somewhere and to someone. It was simple. It was luminous, and beautiful, and true.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter

Kate Morton
“she guarded her own privacy carefully and subscribed to the French notion of le droit à l’oubli—the right to be forgotten”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter

Kate Morton
“It struck her now that maybe she needed to let go a bit more often. To try and, yes, occasionally to fail. To accept that life is messy and sometimes mistakes are made; that sometimes they’re not even really mistakes, because life isn’t linear, and it comprises countless small and large decisions every day.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker’s Daughter

Vita Sackville-West
“Like a little warm coal in my heart burns your saying that you miss me. I miss you oh so much. How much, you’ll never believe or know. At every moment of the day. It is painful but also rather pleasant, if you know what I mean. I mean, that it is good to have so keen and persistent a feeling about somebody. It is a sign of vitality.”
Vita Sackville-West, The Letters of Vita Sackville-West and Virginia Woolf

Kate Morton
“There are very few certainties in this world, Mr. Gilbert, but I will tell you something I know: the truth depends on who it is that’s telling the story.”
Kate Morton, The Clockmaker's Daughter
